Course Description:
This advanced seminar explores the field of neurological disorders, focusing on their classification, underlying causes, diagnostic methods, and treatment strategies. The course begins with an overview of the central and peripheral nervous systems, setting the stage for understanding how disruptions in neural function can lead to various disorders. Key topics include the mechanisms behind neurodegenerative diseases, cerebrovascular disorders, demyelinating diseases, and functional disorders such as epilepsy. Through a combination of lectures and case studies, students will critically examine current research and methodologies in the diagnosis and management of these conditions. Additionally, the seminar will address the implications of neurological disorders in various settings, including clinical practice, public health, and personal caregiving. |
