PT 501 - Neuroscience 1

(2 credits)

This course will study the concepts, terms, and methods of investigating the anatomy and physiology of the human nervous system. The focus will include the relationships between the anatomical structures in the central and peripheral nervous systems and the physiological function of neurons within these systems. This course will serve as a foundation for understanding the functional systems throughout the central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous systems, preparing the physical therapy student to integrate this knowledge into patient evaluation and therapeutic interventions.
