OT 714 - Functional Applied Neuroanatomy

3 Credit(s)

Through classroom instruction, laboratory modules, and online learning opportunities, this course provides students with essential foundations of neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and neurobehavioral processes. Within this foundation, students develop a strong understanding of the etiology, progression, neuroanatomical and neurophysiological basis and direct implications of diseases and disorders of, and insults to, the human nervous system. Concurrently, students begin to develop a repertoire of occupational therapy treatment techniques and understand how those interventions affect the nervous system and promote competent human activity. The neurophysiological and neuropharmacological basis of other allied health or medical interventions and their relationships and interactions with occupational therapy treatment are also addressed. Competency examinations are utilized throughout the course to ensure students are able to understand and apply concepts learned.
