Course objectives
Specific objectives and learning outcome
The course is aimed at:
- Let students know the neuropsychology of ageing along a continuum ranging from subjective cognitive decline to mild and major neurocognitive disorders.
- To provide a thorough neurological and neuropsychological knowledge of Alzheimer's Disease, Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration and Parkinson's Disease.
- To understand the mechanisms and consequences of cognitive impairment in motor neuron disease.
- To present the recent international guidelines to achieve the best diagnostic assessment.
- To foster in students skills about the reduced awareness of neurodegenerative diseases using a neurocognitive approach.
