Description	This module acts as a bridge between the introductory anatomy, physiological and psychological modules in Level C and the more complex material in Level H modules and research projects. The course will cover basic brain structure and function - including neural pathways - that control voluntary movement, the control of posture, locomotion and sensation. The course will also introduce aspects of the psychology of sensation-action coupling and motor control.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Demonstrate an understanding of the pathways and principles underlying sensation and motor control
