Neuroanatomy and neurophysiology

Introduction to neuroanatomy

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.

Neuroanatomy and neurophysiology: practical application in movement sciences

A conceptual map representing the structures and functions of the nervous system is built, under guidance, by the students. 

Introduction to neuroanatomy

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.

Neuroanatomy and neurophysiology: practical application in movement sciences

Application and strengthening of neuroanatomical and -physiological understanding relevant for motor skills and teaching.

Introduction to neuroanatomy

Elementary information on the Anatomy of the nervous system as provided in preuniversity teaching and in the introductory course to human anatomy.

Introduction to neuroanatomy

Lectures in the auditorium.

Neuroanatomy and neurophysiology: practical application in movement sciences

The map is built using collective intelligence, i.e. in working groups, and the result is then oriented towards the structures and functions relevant to motor sciences. Application of these concepts to sports situations.

Introduction to neuroanatomy

Exam(s) in session

Any session

- In-person

written exam ( multiple-choice questionnaire )

Out-of-session test(s)


Further information:

Out-of-exam-session questionnaire after this introductory course (MCQ). The points obtained account for 10% of the first session neuroanatomy grade.

Written exam in the 1st exam session: The MCQs of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology (introduction and , NERF0539-A-a, -B-a and (kinésithérapie)-C-a account for

- 90% of the points in the first session for students in physiotherapy-readaptation and

- 60% of points in motor science (for the remaining 30%, see NERF0537-J-a ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

The points obtained during the year (out-of-exam-session) cannot be taken over to the second session and the second session exam results therefore account for

- 100% of the points in physiotherapy-readaptation

- 50% of points in motor science (for the remaining 50%, see NERF0537-J-a ????????????????)

Neuroanatomy and neurophysiology: practical application in movement sciences

Exam(s) in session

Any session

- In-person

written exam ( multiple-choice questionnaire, open-ended questions )

Written work / report

Other : Oral presentation (outside of exam session) of the group's production


Further information:

The application of the acquired skills is evaluated:

(1) within the exam questions for neuroanatomy and -physiology (see NERF0539-A-a)

(2) and

for the first session

• by productions by the students based on the conceptual map (30% of the points in neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and the present course NERF0539-D-a);
• in order to be able to obtain points for the 1st exam session, a presence at at least 4 courses out of the 5 is required (i.e., if the student is present at only 3 or less courses, 0 (zero) points will be given for these 30% of the final result in the first exam session)

• by MCQ and/or open questions (50% of the points in neuroanatomy (NERF0539-A-a), neurophysiology (NERF0539-B-a) and the present course (NERF0539-D-a)).
