1. Anatomy of the central and peripheral nervous system (including the vascular component)
2. Histology of the nervous system cells
3. Physiological aspects of the peripheral and central nervous system
4. Biochemistry as it concerns those pathogenetic and physiopathological aspects of the nervous system diseases.

Assessment methods and Criteria
Oral examination.
The commission will evaluate:
The student's ability to utilize the information received about the nervous system diseases, including the main aspects of anatomo-functional and pathophysiological type. In particular, the student will have to be able to:
- Localize the lesion site within the nervous system (central, peripheral including the muscular apparatus).
- Perform a first approach of differential diagnosis of the main neurological syndromes (e.g., headache, loss of consciousness, motor deficits, visual disturbances, etc. etc.).
- Provide sufficiently detailed information about the main neurological diseases.
- Have basic notions on therapy principles of neurological diseases and on the current new perspectives in this field.
