The course provides advanced knowledge on the neuroriabilitation and the main mechanisms involved in the cerebral reorganization after rehabilitation interventions.
The student must demonstrate that he has acquired:
1) The understanding of the fundamental mechanisms that regulate the cognitive rehabilitation;
2) the knowledge on the main neurorehabilitative techniques;
3) the ability to refer to the experimental evidence, and to the relative research hypotheses and methodologies, which support or contrast with the main general theoretical formulations on the relationship between neural and psychological development
4) the ability to organize and communicate the acquired knowledge in a clear, effective, coherent narrative, using an appropriate scientific language
5) The ability to express one's own point of view and to deepen autonomously the topics, the experimental studies and the methodologies of interest. Students will make use of this knowledge to analyse and discuss scientific articles dealing with the combination of rehabilitation and neuroimaging techniques.
