- the human brain, with special focus on
- the central versus the peripheral nervous system
- the brainstem, the spinal cord
- vasculature, blood flow and cerebrospinal fluid circulation

dysfunctions in the central and peripheral nervous system.
Teaching Methods
Lectures and practical assignmentsMethod of Assessment
Acquired knowledge and skills of the student will be tested by meansof:
- Exam (open questions plus multiple choice questions)
