The lecture focuses on the anatomy and function of the extrapyramidal system, including the clinical characteristics of hypokinetic and hyperkinetic syndromes, such as tremor, chorea, athetosis and dystonia. It covers the functional anatomy of the cerebral cortex, higher cortical functions and their disorders, particularly aphasia, alexia, agraphia and dysarthria.
The lecture also addresses the physiology of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), including its production, circulation, absorption and basic biochemical and cytological parameters. Special attention is given to the indications and contraindications of lumbar puncture, interpretation of pathological CSF findings, meningeal syndrome and intracranial hypertension.
