Basics of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology
The exam will consist of a multiple-question written test on the main topics of the course, in which the student will be asked to demonstrate the knowledge related to the program. The grade obtained in this module will then be averaged with the grade obtained in the other modules.
To provide basic knowledge of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of the central and peripheral nervous system.
To provide knowledge of the neural functions and the neurobiological bases of the pathologies of the nervous system; of the methodological and technological aspects useful to the study of the nervous system and its functioning in normal and pathological conditions.
Expected learning outcomes at the end of the teaching:
- Knowledge of the general principles of morphology of the nervous system, its connections and its modes of functioning.
- Basic knowledge of the clinical aspects and possible rehabilitation perspectives of the main neurological diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system.
Principles of pathophysiology of diseases of the nervous system and anatomic-functional correlations. Classification of the main neurological diseases.
Neurobiological aspects and investigation techniques of the main central and peripheral nervous system diseases.
Basics of neuroanatomy and neurophysiopathology of the central and peripheral nervous systems. Main neurological syndromes. Risk factors, genetics, innovative methods of investigation and therapeutic strategies for the most important neurological diseases: neurodegenerative processes affecting the cognitive and movement systems (dementias, extrapyramidal syndromes, motor neuron diseases), demyelinating diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system, cerebrovascular diseases, headaches, epilepsy, peripheral nervous system diseases
The teaching activity includes frontal lessons that will be carried out with the help of Power Point presentations (slides in Italian and English).
The teacher is available for in-depth meetings or clarification on the topics covered. Student reception on microsoft teams, to be agreed by e-mail (marco.mauri@uninsubria.it)
