At the end of the course, students will be able to recognize and manage the main diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system in adults, as well as childhood neuropsychiatric disorders, which require rehabilitation

Neurology: Knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the central and peripheral nervous system
Child Neuropsychiatry: Basic knowledge of neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and developmental psychology. Prior knowledge of the general principles of pediatric rehabilitation is important

Frontal lectures with discussion of clinical cases

Mandatory (at least 75% of class hours)

The learning assessment for the Integrated Course "Progresses in the Field of Neurosciences" is conducted in a unified and integrated manner through an oral exam. Instructors from all modules collegially participate in the final grading process, avoiding separate tests or a simple mathematical average of single module scores.
Evaluation criteria and grading scale:
• 30% accuracy and completeness of theoretical content: Knowledge of clinical pictures, psychomotor milestones, and main child neuropsychiatry pathologies.
• 30% clinical application capacity: Ability to link theoretical notions to the planning and supervision of multidisciplinary rehabilitation programs.
• 20% critical reasoning skills: Ability to critically analyze complex clinical cases proposed during the exam.
• 20% vocabulary and communication: Correct use of medical, scientific, and rehabilitative terminology specific to the discipline.
The minimum passing grade (18/30) requires basic but accurate knowledge of the core syllabus concepts and minimally appropriate language. Higher grades (up to 30/30 with honors) will be awarded based on expository precision, interdisciplinary connections, independent clinical judgment, and overall excellence.
For incoming international mobility students (Erasmus), there is the option to take the exam in English and arrange a customized study plan.

Childhood neurpsychiatry
1. What are the main milestones of typical psychomotor development in a child's first year of life (focusing on motor and social development)?
