We will review the neurophysiology and neuroanatomy of the lower urinary tract.  We will then translate that knowledge into understanding the pathophysiology behind the development of urinary symptoms in patient with neurologic diagnoses.

At the end of this webinar learners will be able to: 

• Be able to describe the neural control of the micturition cycle
• Be able to predict possible urinary symptoms based on the specific neurologic diagnosis
