- LEARNING OUTCOMES
-
Upon completion of the course, students are expected to be able to:
- Recognize and describe the neuroanatomy of the brain
- To explain speech and language pathology through damage to specific anatomical structures
- To combine the neuroanatomical characteristics of brain regions with specialized functions
- Know and explain how one anatomical structure is functionally connected to another
- GENERAL COMPETENCES

- SYLLABUS
-
The course aims to relate language/speech disorders to specific brain lesions. Thus, upon completion of the course, students will be able to know/describe the neuroanatomy of the brain, connect the neuroanatomical characteristics of brain regions with specialized functions, especially those related to language/speech, relate the neuroanatomical impairments with language/speech symptomatology, and recognize some of the modern assessment/intervention methods of the diseases of the nervous system.
The course is structured in 13 lessons. Sections:
- Introduction to the nervous system and cellular structure
- Autonomic nervous system
- Central nervous system and cerebral cortex
- Ventricular system of the brain and cerebrospinal fluid
- Vascularization of the central nervous system
- Spinal cord
- Brainstem, cranial nerves and nuclei
- Cerebellar hemispheres
