The students who have succeeded in this course; Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: 1. Explain key cellular responses such as necrosis, apoptosis, gliosis, and inflammation 2. Identify histopathological features of neurodegenerative and demyelinating diseases 3. Describe mechanisms of cerebrovascular injury and brain tumors 4. Interpret basic neuropathological findings in clinical contexts 5. Develop critical thinking about neuropathological correlations |
| The course is carried out in the classical method by presenting the weekly prepared topics by the lecturer to the students for discussion in class. |
