Course Description
An introduction to the neurological system with special on those aspects appropriate to rehabilitation treatments. Basic neuroanatomy and neurophysiology are presented with a discussion of issues that have clinical relevance. Topics include cranial and peripheral nerves; brainstem, mid-brain and cortical anatomy; vascular brain anatomy; cellular neurophysiology; spinal reflexes, basic control system.
Objectives/Outcomes
At the end of this course you are expected to have a solid foundation in neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and neurological systems that will prepare you for more advanced courses in the PT program. Outlined objectives will be provided with handouts at the beginning of each lecture to assist us in progressing in an orderly fashion through the material.
Text and Assigned Readings
Cohen, Neuroscience for Rehabilitation, 2nd edition.
Waxman, Correlative Neuroanatomy, 24th edition.
Cohen (C) and Waxman (W) will serve as the primary texts for the lecture (T) portion of the course and O'Sullivan for the laboratory/pathology (R) portion of the course. Overheads or figures used that are not present in the texts will be provided. Other readings may also be provided where necessary!
Laboratory/Pathology
This portion of the course with be taught by Mary Gannotti, PT, Ph.D. She will provide a separate syllabus that will outline her schedule and expectations for the course. This portion of the course will constitute 30% of your final grade.
Examination and Grading Policy
Examinations in this portion of the course will include multiple choice, true/false, matching and essay-type questions.
Quizzes will given 5 times at the beginning of class and will last for 10 minutes (maximum). The top four quizzes will constitute one examination (25 points/quiz). Quizzes will be announced the week before. There will be a midterm (35%) and a final exam (35%) for this section of the course. Quizzes cumulatively will constitute a 3rd exam (30%). The lecture portion of the course is 70% of your final course grade. The laboratory/pathology portion of the course is 30% of your final grade.
Letter grades will be determined at the end of the course as follows:
A > 90%, B > 80%, C > 70%, D > 60%, F< 60%: Minuses are 0-2, plusses are 8-0, except in the A category where no A+ is allowed for undergraduates.
