Neurology of Movement / Case Studies delivers an in-depth exploration of how the brain initiates, modulates, and refines movement. This course dissects the anatomical and functional dynamics of the basal ganglia, cerebellum, and cortical centers to reveal how movement is orchestrated—and how it fails in pathological states.

Scholars will analyze the “direct,” “indirect,” and “hyperdirect” pathways of motor control, understand clinical phenomenology in hypo- and hyperkinetic disorders, and apply functional assessment strategies. A blend of theoretical modeling (including the MOSAIC model and state estimation) and practical clinical reasoning empowers learners to translate neuroscience into practice.

Detailed attention is given to case study evaluations, movement timing, pharmacological effects, and functional neurological disorders. This module bridges the gap between neurology theory and real-world applications in patient care.
