Course objectives
At the end of the course students should be able to: understand and explain the principles of the anatomical and functional organization of the nervous system, basics of the clinical neurological examination, neurological topical and syndromological diagnosis. work with information on the structure of the neurological examination, to understand the indication, contraindication and complications of the paraclinical examinations; make reasoned decisions about main groups of neurological disorders: in the childhood and adults (stroke, epilepsy, movement disorders, vertebrogenic, neuromuscular disorders, multiple sclerosis, neurodegenerative disorders, neurotraumas, neuroinfections): theoretical background, current diagnostic procedures and therapy, typical case reports. To interpret clinal and paraclinical korelations.
