Class Objectives
/Class Outline Through this course, students will learn the mechanism of brain and nervous systems and physiology, from development through delivery, and have discussions on disorders of sense organ and motor functions and emotional disorders in childhood. Also this course will provide the students with an explanation of disorders in development stage, fetal stage, and perinatal stage, resulting from a genetic factor, a fetus, a mother body, and an environmental factor, etc. Furthermore, this course will introduce the latest findings of prenatal diagnosis and various diseases, and provide a fundamental medical knowledge necessary for teachers who are engaged in special needs education.

Class Schedule Lesson 1: Brain anatomy and physiology 1. Anatomy ( brain , vessel, cerebral fluid)

Lesson 2: Brain anatomy and physiology 2 ( neurotransmitter & neuron network structure)

Lesson 3: Brain anatomy and physiology 3 Physiology ( motion, sense, affect, high-order function)

Lesson 4: Mechanism of emergence ( gamete, blastsphere, embryo, fetus, delivery)

Lesson 5: Mechanism and disorders of oral nervous system 1.　visual nerve mechanism and visual impairments

Lesson 6: Mechanism and disorders of oral nervous system 2. 　visual nerve mechanism and visual impairments

Lesson 7: Fundamentals of transmission and inborn error of metabolism

Lesson 8: Fundamentals of abnormal chromosome and prenatal diagnosis

Lesson 9: Disorders in developing stage, fetal stage, and perinatal stage

Lesson 10: Intellectual impairments and educational support. Representative diseases and support

Lesson 11: Physical disorders and educational support. Movement disorders and the associated physical disorders, medical care

Lesson 12: Disease and supports related to health impairments

Lesson 13: Developmental disorders and support 1. Characteristics of brain functional disorders and early discovery

Lesson 14: Developmental disorders and support and support 2. Discussions for supporting at school

Lesson 15: Summary

There will be a report assignment.

Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review Prepare and review well as this course includes a lot of medical related contents. If you have any question about the lessons, make sure to ask at the beginning of a lesson or some other time.

Requirements "・-Consult with your facilitator if you are not in the Program in Special Needs School Teacher Education.
・・ This course can be a substitute for either of the following courses for students who entered the university before the academic year 2009: ‘Visual Physiology & Pathology (required)’, ‘ Hearing Impairment Physiology & Pathology(required)’, ‘Intellectual Disability Physiology & Pathology (required), and ‘ Physical Disability Physiology & Pathology (required)’. You are required to take three required courses out of the four. If you have taken only two of those, you must take this course. If you have taken only one or none of those courses, you must consult with your facilitator. "

Grading Method Students will be evaluated based on reports (to be evaluated based on the learning level of the fundamentals of cerebrum physiology & pathology and causes of disabilities which are required knowledge to engage in special needs education) and class performance.

Practical Experience Experienced

Summary of Practical Experience and Class Contents based on it I am going to give my lectures based on my experiences as a pediatrician at Kyoto Prefectural Medical University and Tanabe Central Hospital.
