Course content
Basic neurophysiology principles of motor control with certain issues: Action potential. Neuro-neural, neuro-muscular synapses. Motor unit. Spinal motorics regulation. Muscle tone. Proprioception. Cerebellar motorics regulation. Significance of reticular formation and brain stem. The role of cortex for movement execution. Limbic system. Laterality. Motor programs, motor learning principles. Vegetative system.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Lecture, Monologic Lecture(Interpretation, Training), Dialogic Lecture (Discussion, Dialog, Brainstorming)
Learning outcomes
Neurophysiology basics - action potential, neuro-neural, neuro-muscular synapses, motoric unit, spinal regulation of motorics, muscle tone, proprioception, cerebellar motorics control, significance of reticular formation and brain stem, the role of cortex for movement realization, limbic system, laterality, motorics programs, and principles of motorics learning.
Students will acquire the theoretical basics of general and special neurophysiology of motorics and will be capable of applying them in therapeutic practice in movement re-education for patients with movement disorders.
