Neurology
The basic objective of the course is to provide graduates with scientific knowledge in the field of neurological diseases, with particular reference to the main neuro-ophthalmological conditions, a fundamental prerequisite for the acquisition of diagnostic and rehabilitative skills.

Detailed Course Content

Child Neuropsychiatry
The course is aimed to introduce the student to understand the physiological trajectories of development in the child with typical development with respect to those observed in children with developmental disabilities.

The student will acquire competences in the diagnostic procedure of the most common neuropsychiatric disorders in infancy, childhood and adolescence. He will learn about diagnostic criteria, psychometric evaluation and therapy in different childhood neuropsychiatric diseases.
