The material covered in this module is relevant to patients of all age groups, but the course focus is on children.

Covers the osteopathic view of neuroanatomy and academics will look in depth at:

  • The cerebral cortex
  • The basal ganglia
  • The limbic system
  • The corticospinal tracts
  • The cerebellum
  • An osteopathic view of the nature of bone

The course will cover the advanced treatment of:

  • CNS lesions such as cerebral palsy
  • Aspergers syndrome and autistic spectrum behaviour in children
  • Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
  • Dyslexia
  • Sleep and sleep disturbances
  • Genetic disorders such as Down's Syndrome
