Course content
Lecture Topics: 1. Information transfer and processing in CNS. 2. The basic principles of control process. 3. Functional control at CNS level: spinal. 4. Functional control at CNS level: stem. 5. Functional control at CNS level: subcortical. 6. Functional control at CNS: cortical. 7. The control of postural function, locomotion, flexible movement ability, communication function. 8. The control of postural function and the corresponding ability to move flexibly, communication function. 9. The control of communication function. Seminar Topics: 1. - 3. Relations between neurons, functional manifestations of nervous system. 4. - 6. Classification of nerve fibres, electroneurogram. 7. - 10. Practical conclusions for clinical application of gained facts.

Learning activities and teaching methods
unspecified
Learning outcomes
The subject follows the knowledge gained during functional anatomy of locomotive and nervous system classes. The students will gat the facts about central mechanisms managing motor activity and body motion system from the clinic point of view. The students should be able to understand basic physiological functions of CNS, neuron physiology and function manifestation of nervous system. The students can apply the gained knowledge within other professional subjects.
Subject Knowledge: The students can describe and analyze central mechanisms of motorics management. Professional Skills: The students apply gained knowledge in individual physiotherapeutic concepts on neurophysiologic basis and this way they can realize complex physiotherapeutic program.
Prerequisites
Conditional subject was not determined.

Assessment methods and criteria
unspecified
Participation in x-ray visit to neuro-surgical department. Active 80% seminar attendance.
