Description
This module will introduce the anatomy and development of the peripheral nervous system and its physiology and function. It will give you an overview of clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment options as well as updates on ongoing clinical and basic research trends in peripheral nerve diseases. Lectures are supplemented by masterclasses on how to utilize and interpret techniques in histopathology, electrophysiology and live imaging (MRI).
This module aims to give you an understanding of the anatomy and function of the peripheral nervous system and to provide a comprehensive overview of the clinical and scientific aspects of diseases affecting the peripheral nerves.
By the end of this module you will understand the anatomy, development and functional characteristics of the peripheral nervous system. You will be able to describe and explain the clinical presentation of the several conditions affecting the peripheral nervous system. You will be able to understand and interpret neurophysiological and neuropathological assessments in peripheral neuropathies. Through practical demonstrations, you will be able to recognize diagnostic criteria using tissue histology and clinical assessment data. You will be also able to critically evaluate the validity of disease models for the development of future therapies and clinical interventions.听
