Learning Outcomes of UE

At the end of the course, the student should be able to understand the mechanisms that lead to the development and the main clinical manifestations of neurological diseases.
He should understand the rationale of using treatments taking into account the underlying pathological mechanisms.

Content of UE

1. Neuropathies
2. Neuromuscular junction disorders
3. Myopathies
4. Epilepsy
5. Coma, altered states of consciousness
6. Stroke
7. Headaches, neuropathic pain
8. Dementias (Alzheimer's disease, Fronto temporal dementia,...)
9. Motor neuron diseases (Amyotrophic  Lateral Sclerosis,...)
10. Abnormal movement disorders (Parkinson's disease, ...)
11. Cerebellar diseases
