    Study Notes

    Introduction to FPP1 Neurological Content

    • The presentation is about the Fundamentals of Physiotherapy Practice 1, neurological content, given by Dr. Badrieh Al Abbad and Rachel Rutley.
    • Students are required to log in via the Keele App for access to the course content.

    Overview

    • Students need basic understanding of:
      • Neurology
      • Central and peripheral nervous systems
      • Basic brain structure
      • Basic spinal cord structure
      • Types of neurological problems after damage
      • Module content

    What is Neurology?

    • Neurology is not defined in detail in the provided text.

    Function of the Brain

    • The brain activates muscles (motor control).
    • The brain senses what is happening (sensation).
    • The brain identifies location in space.
    • The brain plans and organises movement.
    • The brain creates a body schema.

    What makes up the nervous system?

    • The nervous system is made up of the Central Nervous System (CNS) and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
    • CNS: Brain and Spinal Cord
    • PNS: Cranial nerves, Spinal nerves, Ganglia, Sensory receptors in skin, and Enteric plexuses in small intestine

    Central Nervous System (CNS)

    • Contains most of the nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord.
    • The brain is protected by the skull.
    • The spinal cord is protected by the vertebrae.
    • The CNS is enclosed by protective meningeal layers (meninges).

    Main Lobes & Sulci

    • A diagram depicting the main lobes and sulci of the brain is included.

    Main Components of the Brain

    • A diagram displaying the main components of the brain, including brain stem (medulla oblongata, pons, midbrain), cerebellum, diencephalon (thalamus), and cerebral hemisphere, is provided.

    Transmission of Information

    • Information is sent to and from the brain through pathways.
    • Reflexes, local control of movement, and initiation and control of movement are explained.
    • Roles of midbrain, pons and reticular formation in processing and medulla for basic life functions (heart, lungs, blood vessels) are detailed .

    Neural Cells

    • Neural tissue in the CNS & PNS:
      • Neuroglia: support, protection, phagocytic action, (Oligodendrocytes for the CNS and Schwann cells for the PNS).
      • Neuron: information transmission via generation and propagation of action potentials

    Structure of Neurons

    • Neurons have a cell body (soma), dendrites, axon.
    • Myelin sheath is formed by Schwann cells (PNS) and Oligodendrocytes (CNS).
    • Nodes of Ranvier are located at regular intervals along the axon and are important for nerve impulse propagation. A typical neuron diagram is also included in the presentation.

    Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)

    • The PNS is all the nervous tissue outside the CNS.
      • The main role is to connect the CNS to the limbs and organs.
      • It's not protected by bone or by the blood-brain barrier, making it vulnerable to toxins and injuries.
      • The PNS is divided into Somatic, Autonomic & Enteric nervous systems. (The presentation focuses on the somatic nervous system)

    Peripheral Nervous System (Types of Axons)

    • Afferent (sensory) axons carry information into the CNS when the hand touches an object
    • Efferent (motor) axons carry information from the CNS to initiate a motor response by the muscles

    Sensory Areas

    • The presentation includes a diagram showing various sensory areas in the brain (primary somatosensory area, somatosensory association area, Wernicke's area, visual association area, primary visual area, auditory association area, primary auditory area).

    Sensory Homunculus

    • A diagram of a sensory homunculus shows the parts of the body and their corresponding areas on the brain's sensory cortex.

    20 Amazing Brain Facts

    • A URL for a website with 20 amazing brain facts is provided.

    Teaching and Learning Points to Highlight

    • The curriculum structure is highlighted as a spiral, building upon core topics.

    Feedback Slide

    • Students are asked for feedback on their understanding of the material.
    • Types of feedback topics are mentioned (handling, clinical reasoning, professionalism, treatment planning, communication)

    Neuro Teaching

    • Workbooks are available for reinforcement and checking of learning.
    • The workbooks support the learning process by incorporating shared components of the modules (basics of assessment).

    Workbooks

    • The FPP1 workbook is useful for learning and reinforcing theory and practical components.
    • 20% of the assessment is based on workbook completion.
    • Textbooks, resources, and peer interaction are recommended during workbook completion.
    • Support is available from relevant teams if students are struggling.

    Directed Study

    • Directed study sessions (timetabling) for the learning module are provided.
    • The study activities include research, paper reading.
    • Access to library resources is available for any support.

    Practical Sessions

    • Attendance at all practical sessions is encouraged (aim to catch up).
    • Practice of learned tasks outside of sessions is recommended.

    Q&A

    • Students can ask questions.

    Thank You

    • The presentation closes with a thank you.
