Teaching Methodologies
Presentation of issues in the form of class theory of final to facilitate the knowledge acquisition. Review classes before the test. Presentation and discussion items related scientific and themes (a) s with matters taught. Want this up business students work as a team and that an oral presentation all group members (maximum 5 students) intervened.
Look up-to interpreting and correlate matter more than merely present it.

Learning Results
Students should understand the fundamental principles of neurology, including nerve pathways, pathophysiology of the cerebral cortex, and neurological diseases. They should be able to identify, describe, and interpret the signs and symptoms of the main pathologies of the central and peripheral nervous system, applying knowledge to the clinical approach of the patient. Expository teaching provides the necessary theoretical basis, while discussion fosters clinical reasoning and critical analysis. Students develop skills in observation, interpretation of neurological exams, and clinical-pathological correlation, which are fundamental to the practice of Occupational Therapy
