To understand and manage the method of clinical neurological analysis and therefore of the analytical and deductive path that leads to the diagnostic formulation.
To learn he basics of adult neurological semiology; interpretation of signs and symptoms of illness in terms of pathophysiology to recognize the main anatomical-clinical syndromes.
To know elements of developmental neurology.
To evaluate disease onset, its course and any associated co-morbidity, to identify possible causes and pathogenetic mechanisms.
To know how to select the exams useful for the diagnostic formulation; to know the pharmacological treatments, the modalities and duration of the same, the monitoring systems and the side effects.
To learn how to recognize and manage the emergency in neurology.
To learn basic elements of neurophysiological diagnosis, with particular reference to the clinical manifestations, EEG features and therapeutic framing of epilepsy.
To know the main diagnostic procedures of blood, cerebrospinal fluid and other tissue laboratory analysis neuroradiological, neurophysiological and genetic-molecular analysis and interpretation.
To know the clinical manifestations, the diagnosis and therapy of cerebrovascular pathology, infectious diseases of the central nervous system, neuro-oncology, neuro-traumatology, neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer's diseases and other dementias, extrapyramidal diseases, cerebellar syndromes, motor neuron diseases) and neuromuscular diseases (acquired and hereditary neuropathies , pathologies of the neuromuscular plaque, myopathies and muscular dystrophies)., immune-mediated diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system.
To acquire elements of functional assessment of neurological damage, in a neuro-rehabilitative setting.

The course consists of lectures and clinical activity at the patient's bedside and in the ambulatory setting.
Verification of learning takes place at the end of the course through an oral examination of the acquired knowledge.
