Recognize the main alterations of the nervous system indicating the diagnostic and therapeutic directions. Know the neurosurgical methods and frame the most relevant neurosurgical pathologies. Know the neuroimaging methods, know how to perform the appropriate requests based on the diagnostic suspicion and interpret the reports; acquire notions of interventional neuroradiology. Know the neurobiological mechanisms of diseases to recognize the value of translational scientific research. Acquire notions of clinical neuroanatomy. Propose appropriate neurophysiology and histo- and cyto-pathological diagnostic procedures. Know the different classes of drugs and toxic substances, the molecular and cellular mechanisms of their action and the fundamental therapeutic uses. Know the principles of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in the nervous system. Specific Objectives of the Integrated Course Knowledge and understanding: passing the exam guarantees knowledge of nosography, etiopathogenesis, genetic bases and clinical classification of the main diseases of the nervous system. Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: passing the exam means understanding the correct classification of signs and symptoms in the context of the physiopathology of diseases of the nervous system, appropriately formulating the diagnostic process and prognostic stratification, interpreting neurological imaging reports, interpreting the pathological anatomy reports of the nervous system, knowing the treatment schemes of the nervous system of the main diseases in accordance with European guidelines, knowing the indications for non-pharmacological and surgical procedures of diseases of the nervous system. Autonomy of judgment: passing the exam implies the ability to independently and appropriately evaluate anamnestic and instrumental data and relate them to formulate a correct diagnostic and therapeutic process. Communication skills: passing the exam implies the ability to effectively present the clinical reasoning that from the collection of anamnestic and instrumental findings leads to the correct diagnosis and the most appropriate therapy. Learning skills: passing the exam implies the ability to learn the logic of alternative and complementary diagnostic hypotheses that govern the process of differential diagnosis.
