Clinical neuropsychology in practice - case studies 2500-PL-PS-FS1-14

This course has not yet been described...

Term 2023Z:

During the classes, students will learn how a neuropsychologist plans and conducts a diagnostic evaluation. They will also learn how to interpret the results of the neuropsychological examination.
Basic neuropsychological disorders and diagnostic methods used in their assessment will be discussed. Students will learn how to use the results of neuroimaging research in research planning and interpretation of disorders.
Later in the course, patient cases will be presented, which we will analyze together. Students will have the opportunity to recreate the entire diagnostic process - on the basis of neuroimaging studies, they will formulate research hypotheses, select diagnostic tools, and then be able to confront their ideas with the actual course of the study and its results.
Students will also present patient cases from scientific articles, subjecting them to the same analysis as described earlier.
