CSD 4050 - Introduction to Neurogenic Cognitive-Communicative Disorders


A survey of the normal structure and function of the nervous system in human communication and resulting disorders that occur due to neurological dysfunction.

This course is designed to provide an overview of the normal neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of human communication (speech, language, and hearing).  Neurological bases for all aspects of communication (speech, language, hearing, vision, movement, and tactile sensation) and swallowing are addressed.  This introductory course is expected to serve as a basis for understanding the normative and pathological processes that affect human communication and to provide a foundation for advanced graduate level coursework in speech, language, swallowing, and cognitive functions.
