Neuroanatomy in Audiology

The methodology adopted is active expository, using slides, videos and scientific publications, which will be made available to students.

The assessment of this subject is carried out through a final written test that focuses on the syllabus taught in classes and through the presentation and discussion of scientific articles with a weighting of 50% each.
The final grade must be at least 9.5 points.
The final assessments during the exam periods will be identical to those described in the continuous assessment.

The student must acquire knowledge of:
• Detailed Anatomy of the Central Nervous System
• Neuroanatomical bases of some neurological pathologies.
The student must acquire skills and abilities to:
• Identification and description of neuroanatomical structures in accordance with current anatomical terminology;
• Correlation of neuroanatomical structures with their function;
• Anatomo-clinical correlation in the discussion of clinical cases;
• Discussion of the different neurological pathologies, understanding their anatomical and physiopathological substrates, as well as their clinical manifestations.
