Location: University of Minnesota, Molecular and Cellular Biology Building
Directions will be sent to participants one week prior to the course
About This Course
This course provides a review of clinically relevant neuroanatomical structures with current understanding of function specifically geared to the physical therapist.
This neuroanatomy course will be a ‘hands on’ lab/lecture course format reviewing the vasculature and neural structures related to the planning, execution, perception of movement, pain and cognition. Particular emphasis will be on how damage to specific neural systems results in dysfunction. Discussion focuses on upper and lower motor neuron syndromes, movement disorders, spinal cord and rootlet systems, cranial nerve issues, and cognitive and perceptual problems. Gross specimens of cerebral cortex, brainstem, and spinal cords will be used in cadaver and as dissected specimens. Examples from neuroimaging will also be incorporated (no dissection required). Participants will be broken up into small groups to rotate through different focus areas throughout the day.
Lecture, demonstration, discussion, small group activities and independent review opportunities will be provided.
Course Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Demonstrate neuroanatomical knowledge of gross structures, tracts and nuclei
- Describe how damage to given structures in the central and peripheral nervous system results in specific neurological dysfunction
- Discuss relevance of neuroanatomical structure and processes to medical management and rehabilitation interventions in various disorders

Speaker Biography
Teresa Jacobson Kimberley, PhD, PT is an Associate Professor at the University of Minnesota in the Programs of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Science in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Neuroscience in Minneapolis, MN. She is a clinical science researcher with focus in rehabilitation research for dystonia, stroke and other neurologic motor disorders. She is co-director of the Brain Plasticity Lab which has helped to pioneer the use of non-invasive brain stimulation and neuroimaging in the investigation of rehabilitation-related research. She has taught courses in neuroanatomy and the scientific foundations of neuromotor control for over 10 years with consistently outstanding reviews of her teaching. Dr. Kimberley will be assisted by 2 teaching assistants from the PhD graduate program in Rehabilitation Science with extensive experience in neuroanatomy.
