Aim of the course Aim of the course:(skills taught) Clinical neuroscience includes neurology, psychiatry, psychology, etc. The aim of neurology is the diagnosis and treatment of the diseases of central and peripheral nervous system.

This is followed by the interpretation of symptoms and signs in terms of physiology and anatomy, the  syndromic formulation and localization of the lesions (anatomic diagnosis), and the pathologic or etiologic diagnosis. Students will also learn about the most important neurological diseases, including neurodegenerative, cerebrovascular, metabolic, etc. Learning outcome, competences knowledge: Physiological, Neuroscience and Neuroanatomy concepts Current methods and main objectives in Neurology Basics in Neurophysiology and Neuroanatomy attitude: Utilisation of knowledge in scientific communication, presentation skills: Skills of applying main methods Skills of identifying related neurological and neuroanatomical structures of psychological functions Content of the course Topics of the course Medical thinking- Clinical method Cranial nerves, motor system, sensory system Higher cortical functions Diagnostic procedures in neurology Neurodegenerativ diseases (Parkinson disease); Dementia, disturbances of the higher cortical functions Cerebrovascular diseases (ischeamic, haemorrhagic stroke) Inflammation (meningitis, encephalitis), Demyelinating diseases (multiple sclerosis) Tumor (primary, metastasis), Trauma (subdural bleeding) Epilepsy Metabolic disorders, Alcohol/drug consumption related disorders Genetic determined, inherited diseases Pain syndromes Learning activities, learning methods Lectures and interactive discussions; case presentations Evaluation of outcomes Learning requirements, mode of evaluation, criteria of evaluation: requirements Reliable basic knowledge in the domain of neurology, neurophysiology and neuroanatomy mode of evaluation: written exam criteria of evaluation: Knowledge on basic concepts and the skill of utilizing the modells of neurology adequately Reading list Mandatory Reading list: The examination will be based on the material of the lectures.  Recommended: Neurology: An Illustrated Colour Text by Geraint Fuller MD FRCP (Author), Mark R.
