| Physicians in the clinic diagnose neurological and psychiatric diseases
largely based on the patient's clinical history and physical examination.
Laboratory tests are often unhelpful or simply confirmatory. The class will interview
and examine a patient in order to trace the diagnostic steps necessary to define the
part of the nervous system affected (AKA "where's the lesion") and then determine the
underlying pathological process. This exercise will be used to compare clinical and
research criteria for neuropsychiatric disease, and how that impacts studies of
underlying mechanisms and potential therapies. |
