Key competence module "Motor systems" (3 C, 2 SWS) [M.Bio.357]
Learning outcome: Profound knowledge of the motor system of primates (human as well as non-human primates), especially concerning the anatomy and physiology of cortical and subcortical structures, the spinal cord, the neuro-muscular activation and their pathological disorders. Emphasis lies on the mechanisms of locomotion planning, motor control and the development of brain-machine interfaces.
Core skills: Students should be able to understand and describe the basic functional principles of the motor system as well as its diseases and possible interactions on a high scientific level.
