To develop a specialised body of knowledge of human neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and pathology which will be integrated with their prior anatomy and physiology knowledge. This will enable students to understand the neurological dimensions of human development, ill health and disorders for specific application to occupational therapy practice.
Gross anatomy of peripheral and central nervous structures including spinal cord and spinal cord pathways, cranial and spinal nerves, brain regions and nerve pathways for body movement, cognitive function and autonomic nervous system. Functional topography of the human brain and sensory nerve pathways that bring signals of sensation (including vision). Mechanisms of pain and analgesia, movement and postural control, vision, learning and memory, behaviour and emotion. Basic neurophysiology of neurons and communication. Central and peripheral nerve regeneration and neuroplasticity. Pathophysiology of effects of focal and generalised lesions of the CNS and disorders of the nervous system, including visual, cerebrovascular, dementia, disorders of movement and postural control, epilepsy, and some development disorders.
