This course on Neurology aims to provide an overview of the nervous system, brain anatomy, neuroanatomy, and various neurological disorders. By the end of the course, learners will be able to identify different divisions of the nervous system, understand neuron function, recognize brain anatomy, and comprehend various neurological conditions such as Parkinson's Disease, Cerebral Palsy, and Myasthenia Gravis. The course covers topics such as nerve damage, autonomic nervous system, motor pathways, and pain physiology. The teaching method includes lectures, case studies, and detailed explanations of clinical presentations, pathophysiology, and treatments of neurological disorders. This course is intended for medical students, healthcare professionals, researchers, or anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of neurology and neurological conditions.
