This course begins with a review of normal neurophysiology and neuroanatomy, and progresses to pathophysiological correlates of neurological presentations. The course provides foundational knowledge in the disciplines of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Neuropathology. Students learn to apply the neurological approach to illness by determining the level of dysfunction of the neuro-axis, constructing a differential diagnosis of most probable causes, testing the diagnosis and ultimately treating the illness.
