NEUROLOGY (B)

Students will acquire knowledge that will enable them to perform a complete neurological objective testing and to correctly interpret neurological signs and symptoms as either anatomically and functionally normal or pathological. They will also learn notions that will enable them to define syndromes related to pathological modifications of specific structures of the central, peripheral and autonomic nervous systems (e.g., pyramidal syndrome, extrapyramidal syndrome, etc.). The course will also enable students to get to know the major groups of neurological disorders (e.g. cerebrovascular disorders, infectious CNS disorders, etc.). For every single disorder of each group, specific information will be provided on epidemiological, clinical, pathophysiological, prognostic and therapeutic aspects.
