This CU is of the modular type, subsequent of Digestion and Defense II CU and precedent of Ellective II CU. This unit offers more in-depth knowledge and new subjects covering aspects of thinking (e.g. psychological functions) and movement (e.g. disorders related to the motor system). Educational activities are divided into 4 disciplines: Movement, Neurology, Psychiatry and Ophthalmology.
Intended learning outcomes (knowledge, skills and competences to be developed by the students)
- obtain neuroscientific knowledge that enables them to have an integrative view of the nervous system, facilitating the acquisition of clinical skill and knowledge;
- recognize the basic aspects of behavior (emotion, learning, motivation, cognition and memory) and on the dysregulation of these processes;
- train differential diagnosis based on symptoms and pathophysiological mechanisms in the areas of Orthopedics, Neurology, Ophthalmology and Psychiatry;
- train communication and academic and scientific skills;
- encourage and train reflection;
- reflect about international differences in diseases and health.
