Almost all neurological diseases are associated with cognitive deficits, although frequently sensory or motor symptoms dominate the clinical presentation, e.g. in Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis or stroke. In this seminar, students will get to know the most common neurological diseases and their typical clinical manifestation with a specific focus on their distinct cognitive profiles. Recent studies investigating neural correlates of these cognitive deficits will be introduced. Students will learn about pathophysiological concepts and therapeutic strategies and whenever possible, patients will be invited to the classroom to report their symptoms and their view of the disease.
