Multidisciplinary approach to the nervous system (anatomy - pathology) - Theory

Neuroanatomy introduction

This unit provides the fundamental knowledge for physiotherapy and motor sciences students concerning the structure of the nervous system and its vegetative and somatic sensorimotor systems.

Neuroanatomie et neurophysiologie : application pratique en sciences de la motricité

Case analyses based on the neuroanatomical and -physiological teaching.

Neuropsychology introduction

5 introductory lessons & 7 chapters:

• Overview on nervous system physiology
• Communication
• Somatic sensory systems (somesthesia, vision,...)
• somatic motor system
• Cognitive systems
• State systems including the vegetative nervous system
• System nervous homeostasis

Biochemistry

This module presents the nervous system through anatomy, histology, physiology, biochemistry and semiology. The biochemistry is concerned by neurotransmitters synthesis, their release mechanisms,the neurotransmitters receptors and their post-synaptic activities.

Histology

workshop

Genral pathology

Physiopathological process sustaining pain.

Contraindications

In order to ensure that sport practice can be done in good conditions, it is necessary to know and control any contraindications and precautions to be taken in the context of neurological pathologies (epilepsy, multiple sclerosis...).

Neuroanatomy introduction

The general objective of this course is to provide the student with an understanding of the structure of the normal nervous system and sensory organs. The course contents have been chosen with the help of the physiotherapy and motor science teachers in order to provide a large knowledge base that is necessary and adequate for further teaching. This course is part of a multidisciplinary strategy which leads the

• physiotherapy student from the understanding of the normal structure and function of the human nervous system to its abnormalities and to neurological disorders. This lays the ground for the course teaching neurological physiotherapy, as well as the integrative course "Problem Based Learning" ("Apprentissage par problèmes - Approche multidisciplinaire du système nerveux appliquée à la kinésithérapie."), and
• the students of motor sciences to a neuroanatomical basis for the following applied course.

Neuroanatomie et neurophysiologie : application pratique en sciences de la motricité

Application and strengthening of neuroanatomical and -physiological understanding.

Neuropsychology introduction

Teaching will guide the student to develop a general knowledge on:

• How is the information coded by electrical signals
• How does the information spread in nerve cells
• How is the information transmitted from one cell to another
• How extrernal and internal stimuli are coded by the nervous system, including nociceptive stimuli
• how postures and movements are controlled
• the main cognitive domains: memory, langage, attention,...
• the multiple organisation levels of somatic sensory and motor systems, cognitive systems and state system
• the multiple interactions between somatic motor systems, sensory systems, cognition, emotion, sleep-wake mechanisms and the vegetative nervous system

Biochemistry

To known the biochemical, anatomical, histological and physiological basis of the nervous system in order to be able to understand the diseases of this system.
The Biochemistry partim is focused on neurotransmitters : synthesis, release mechanisms, receptors and post-synaptic effects.
