Basics of Neurology 2500-PL-PS-SP301-20

Neurology is a science and a branch of medicine that deals with the study of the functions as well as the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system. The incidence of diseases of the central nervous system, such as strokes, dementias, Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis, and their impact on the functioning of humans and society, places neurology as one of the most important fields of health sciences. A wide spectrum of consequences of damage to the central nervous system, including cognitive, behavioral or emotional disorders, determines the interdisciplinary nature of neurology and determines the need for constant cooperation between neurologists and psychologists, and at the same time using a common language and the same scientific paradigm.
The aim of the lecture will be to familiarize students with the basics of the structure and operation of the central nervous system, as well as the consequences of its damage. Students will be familiarized with the mechanism of formation, clinical picture and the basics of therapy of the most common neurological diseases, such as strokes and brain injuries, neuroinfections, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's syndrome or dementia. Particular emphasis will be placed on bringing closer the specificity of the clinical condition of a patient with neurological disorders and developing an appropriate approach to it.
The symptoms accompanying neurological diseases will also be discussed, in particular disorders of cognitive functions, mood, consciousness or behavior disorders, along with the mechanisms of their formation.
Participants of the lectures will be familiarized with the basics of methods and research used in the diagnosis and differentiation of neurological diseases, as well as the role and expectations of psychologists in this area. Particular attention will also be paid to practical applications of individual methods and cooperation between psychologists and neurologists.
The audience will also be presented with information on the basics of pharmacotherapy of various neurological diseases, the purpose of which will be to familiarize them with the names and mechanism of action of drugs most commonly used in neurology.
In addition, practical aspects of the functioning of neurological wards and clinics, as well as neurological rehabilitation and the principles of providing health services in the field of neurology, financed by the National Health Fund will be discussed.
