This module is not approved as a discovery module
This module explores the anatomy and physiology of sensory and motor systems, as well as integration across different systems. Some aspects of this module will be framed in the context of disorders and conditions that alter sensory and motor functions. This content builds on topics covered in Year 1 of the programme, as well as integrating the neuroanatomy and cellular neuroscience covered in Semester 1 of Year 2.
Learners should develop an advanced understanding of the core concepts of sensory and motor neuroscience and be able to apply this understanding to problems relevant to the discipline.
The module will incorporate active learning workshops which will require learners to actively engage with the concepts prior to the sessions. The active learning workshops will allow for consolidation, application, and discussion of the topics covered.
On successful completion of the module students will be able to:
1. Demonstrate an understanding of the anatomy, physiology, and integration of sensory and motor systems.
2. Apply the concepts taught within this module to various problems relevant to the fields of sensory and motor neuroscience.
: Skills Learning Outcomes
3. Think critically about new pieces of information, gather information from a range of sources, and interpret data to form conclusions
