Somatosensory and Motor Systems: Course Description
Taught by top experts in plasticity and motor control, this course examines the processes and means by which intentions of the mind are converted into physical motion. Professors Emilio Bizzi, Mriganka Sur and Ann Graybiel give detailed attention to the various biological components of this process. Studies will focus on the spinal cord, cortical plasticity, basal ganglia and locomotion. 'Somatosensory and Motor Systems' explores the way the brain adapts and responds to signals sent to it. Students accessing the course content through OpenCourseWare will benefit from the reading list and the many links to other resources.
Course materials include a thorough reading list with abstracts of journal articles, as well as a list of links to other online resources. For more information, visit the somatosensory and motor systems course page.
