Lectures from the subject of Neurology 2 are intended for students of the fourth year of the study program General Medicine. The individual records of the lecturers explain the main topics according to the current curriculum of the subject, including the topics such as ischemic stroke and many more.

This presentation explores neuroinfections, which are infections that affect the central and peripheral nervous system. Key topics include the major types of neuroinfections such as meningitis, encephalitis, meningoencephalitis, myelitis, neuritis, polyneuritis, radiculitis, polyradiculoneuritis and also neuroboreliosis and neurosyphylis. The last topic are brain abscesses. During the lecture were presented the main clinical features, diagnostic procedures, differential diagnosis and treatment.

Presented teaching material: PPT lecture on Headaches. The lecture is focused on classification of headaches, definition and clinical diagnostic criteria for individual types of headaches, differential diagnosis of headaches and treatment or therapeutic options for the treatment of individual types of headaches. Special attention is focused on migraine.

Imaging procedures Attached teaching material: PPT lecture on Imaging methods. The lecture is focused on imaging methodologies used in diagnostics in neurology. These are methods such as computed tomography (CT), CT angiography, CT perfusion, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA). Each methodology contains a description of the principle of how the indications work and a basic description of pathological findings.

Attached teaching material: PPT lecture on Cortical syndromes. The content of lecture notes for the presentation related to the lecture intended for the students of general medicine is focused on the clinical manifestation of damage to individual cortical areas or syndromology of cerebral lobe damage.

Attached teaching material: PPT lecture on Electroencephalography (EEG), polysomnography (PSG) and sleep disorders. The aim of the lecture is to describe the basic principles of electroencephalography, the examination procedure, indications for EEG examination and basic interpretations of the EEG recording. The lecture also discusses the principle and indications and interpretation of the results of the polysomnographic examination. The last part of the lecture is devoted to sleep disorders - their classification, diagnosis (polysomnography, MSLT) and treatment.

Materials for lectures from the subject Neurology 1 are intended for students of general medicine and present individual topics according to the curriculum of this clinical subject. The presented materials from the lectures are intended to serve as auxiliary study material for the students in the areas that need to be mastered in order to understand the basic principles applied in neurology.

The book is primarily intended for first-year university students, but it is suitable for anyone who needs to learn. Students can find here the basic principles of learning, principles of how to preserve knowledge, how to concentrate without wasting time, how not to stress before a test or exam and many other practical tips. By acquiring simple knowledge, students will be able to learn effectively with the principles of brain-compatible learning in a way that they will acquire as much information as possible in the shortest period of time with maximum retention; that is minimal forgetting.

Lectures from the subject Neurology 1 are intended for students of the fourth year of the study program General Medicine. The individual records explain topics according to the current curriculum, including cranial nerves I - XII, sensitivity, central and peripheral paralysis, cortical syndromes, speech and its disorders, symbolic functions and more.

Lectures from the subject Neurology are intended for students of the study program Dental Medicine. In individual audiovisual recordings, students will be explained topics according to the curriculum of the subject, while they include e.g. cranial nerves, sensitivity, central and peripheral paralysis, cortical syndromes, speech and its disorders, symbolic functions and more.
