A focus on the mechanisms by which the nervous system processes sensory information and controls movement. The topics include sensory transduction and the physiology for sensory systems (visual, somatosensory, auditory, vestibular). Both spinal and central mechanisms of motor control are also covered.
Priority will be given to students enrolled in the Specialist/Specialist Co-op programs in Neuroscience (all Stage 2 streams) and students enrolled in the Major/Major Co-op programs in Neuroscience. Students in the Specialist/Specialist Co-op programs in Neuroscience - Stage 1 will be admitted as space permits.
