Acerca de este curso

  • Spinal Reflexes
    • In first module for this course you will learn how generation of the activation signals required for movement can involve different parts of the nervous system. The discussion begins with the simplest neural pathways: those involving reflexes.
  • Modulation of Reflex Pathways
    • The second module of this course establishes that despite the simplicity of the spinal reflex pathways, the responses can be modulated across conditions and by training interventions.
  • Locomotor Rhythms
    • The third module of this course explains how the central nervous system generates automatic behaviors, such as locomotion. These behaviors are produced by rhythmic activation signals. You will learn that these signals are constrained by the biomechanical requirements for the movement. They are modulated by the information received by the central nervous system from sensory receptors, and they are controlled by different parts of the brain.
  • Control of Locomotion
    • The final module explains that although the locomotor rhythm is produced by networks in the spinal cord, these networks are activated and modulated by inputs from peripheral sensory receptors and descending pathways from supraspinal centers.
