English Overview
An introductory concise clinically-oriented review of the neuroanatomy and neurophysiology for residents who wish to prepare themselves for the first part exam of their boards, and promotional exams. These lectures will be presented by a physician who has a PhD in neurosciences and 14-years experience in teaching medical students and residents in psychiatry and forensic medicine, and can understand very well your needs from the basic sciences in neuroanatomy and neurophysiology in your daily clinical practice. The lectures will definitely change your perspective on basic sciences when you were a medical student (poorly prepared, sleep-inducing and overwhelmed lectures full of non-clinically related information!). Join us in this upcoming free course to learn more about neuroscience implications in clinical settings.
After this introductory course, the participants should be able to understand deeply, yet easily,
the basis of many clinical questions such as:
- Why positive Babinski sign occurs in upper motor neurons lesions (UMNL)? Why it is normal in
children below the age of 1-year?
- Why patients with UMNL have hypertonia (spasticity)?
- Why the flexed upper limb response to pain have a higher score than extended response in
Glasgow coma scale?
- Why patients with stroke usually have a flexed upper limb?
- What is the difference between spasticity and rigidity?
- Why there are two types of rigidity?
- Why patients with diabetic patients lose their sense of vibration in the early stages of diabetic
neuropathy, followed by loss of touch and pressure?
- What is extrapyramidal system? What it is called Extrapyramidal? What is pyramidal system?
- How can you explain the symptoms of cerebral palsy?
Stay tuned to part 2 which will be talking in more detail about neuroscience.
