Neurobiology, human behaviour and clinical neuroscience (clerkship)
A.A. 2023/2024
Obiettivi formativi
Practical activities will be used to consolidate technical and soft knowledge and skills developed during frontal lectures in the field, with different types of doctor-patient relationship and with patients with different diagnoses at different stages of the disease.
Risultati apprendimento attesi
At the end of the activities the student must have achieved the following results: - Approach a patient with neurological symptoms - Relate the neurological symptoms to an impairment of a functional pathway - Focus the neurological examination on the base on the reported symptoms - Localize the symptoms reported by the patients and the observed abnormal signs to a neurological lesion - Perform the differential diagnosis of the diseases the may cause the suspected lesions - Investigate the possible causes of the lesions choosing the most appropriate diagnostic investigations - Evaluate the possible therapeutic approach in the patient - learn how to apply and translate the theoretical knowledge into technical and practical skills on the ward - Manage the doctor-patient relationship in different clinical and territorial contexts; - Know and implement the rehabilitation and pharmacological approach with patients at different stages of the disease and different clinical and territorial contexts.

Prerequisiti
To take the Neurobiology, Human Behavior and Clinical Neuroscience exam, students must have already passed all the exams of the first and second year (Fundamentals of Basic Sciences, Cells, Molecules and Genes 1 and 2, Human Body, Functions and Mechanisms of Diseases).
Students must recall the anatomy and physiology of the central and peripheral nervous system.
Students must recall the anatomy and physiology of the central and peripheral nervous system.
Modalità di verifica dell’apprendimento e criteri di valutazione
Student assessment is based on a combination of written and oral examinations. The written exam is a short essay (for the "Psychology" modules) and multiple-choice test focused on the topics of all the modules but Neurology and Mental Health. Only students who successfully pass the written test for all the discipline (3/5 correct answers) are allowed to take the oral examination of Neurology and Mental Health. Students may also access to the oral examination if they fail to pass one discipline as far as at least 40% of the response were correct in that discipline or if they pass at least 80% of all proposed tests. The oral of Neurology and Mental health can be taken separately but within the same academic year.
The final mark is the average of the marks obtained through the oral examinations weighted on the number of credits of the two disciplines. The exam is deemed to be passed successfully if the final grade is equal to or higher than 18/30. In the event of a full grade (30/30) honors (lode) may be granted with the consent of all the professors. The performance achieved in the asynchronous activity in neurology and Mental Health will be also considered for the score in these disciplines.
A passed written examination and each oral examination remains valid for the entire academic year. The written test and oral examination will cover all the topics covered by the seminars and the program.
Attendance is required to be allowed to take the exam. Unexcused absence is tolerated up to 34% of the course activities. University policy regarding excused illness is followed. Registration to the exam through SIFA is mandatory.
