OVERVIEW

The student must learn the main anatomic and physiologic aspects of the Central Nervous system (CNS) and of the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) as well as the more important physio-pathological modification in case of neurologic diseases

AIMS AND CONTENT

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

The student must learn the principal functions and dysfunctions of Nervous System with particular attention to the motor disturbances in relation to the more frequent and severe neurologic diseases.

The lessons are centered on pyramidal, cortico-bulbar, extrapyramidal, sensitive, cerebellar, peripheral pathways. The student must know essential information on principal neurologic diseases (stroke, dementia, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, Epilepsy, Brain tumors, Cranial trauma) and must be able to evaluate the impact of these diseases on his work related to motor activity.

TEACHING METHODS

The program will be based on traditional didactic methods (frontal lessons) with presentation of video-clips of emblematic disease cases.

RECOMMENDED READING/BIBLIOGRAPHY

We suggest the use of the handbook: Neurologia di Fazio-Loeb (SEU) or “Neurologia” (Author J. Cambier, Ed. Masson).

The teachers insert the lesson slides on Aulaweb system
