Neurological Damage, Disease and Degeneration

Neurological disorders arising from damage, disease and degeneration, are a major and growing global health concern. In this seminar course, students will explore principles and patterns of nerve cell, tissue and organ damage associated with stress, disease, drugs, medications, ageing and head injury. Further, students will appraise risk factors, aetiologies, therapies and future trends with respect to neurological disorders, and how to recognize and explain the mechanisms of pathologic changes specific to the central and peripheral nervous systems.
