About the Course
Nervous system is highly complex in its structural and functional organization. Therefore, any problems within it have the potential to affect our ability to function on many levels. It becomes increasingly important for us to study the pathological processes underlying diseases related to nervous system.
In this course on neuropathology, the effects of hypoxia, ischemia and infarction on the brain tissue, atherosclerosis of the brain vessels, hypertensive hemorrhages in cranial cavity are described in detail. Different types of meningitis and corresponding clinical fractures and CSF findings are explained. Important demyelinating and degenerative disorders like multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and tumors of the brain are discussed in detail.

Course Delivery Format
This course is delivered entirely online. It consists of a series of comprehensive lectures by a professor in the subject, appropriately annotated with slides, animations and wherever necessary, interactive content. The delivery offers tremendous flexibility. You may pause a teacher while you refer to your textbooks (not includes) and to take notes. You may also rewind a segment to listen to the teacher again or you may skip a slide or two if you already know that bit. You may bookmark a segment that you wish to return to later, maybe to refresh just before your exams. While the lessons in this course may be arranged in a particular order based on our curriculum, you have the flexibility to take them in order of your preference based on your personalized learning needs.
Benefits
While this course is to help you learn the subject from an online faculty, it may help you in several ways even if you are already enrolled in some medical, dental or paramedical school. Many of our students felt that the format in which this course is delivered has helped them to cope up against the fast-paced lectures in actual class – it’s like having a TV remote in class to self-pace your teacher. Animations help understand concepts better by making concepts easy to understand… and difficult to forget.
