1. CNS Disorders and The Dementias
Rosie Jones

2. In these lectures….
These lectures are intended to provide an overview of the structure and functions of the CNS and some examples of common neurological conditions affecting adults. Objective: To gain an understanding of how CNS damage and degeneration affects function in relation to the type, extent and location of CNS insult

3. The Impact of CNS Disease on Body Function
Revise basic neuro-anatomy
Relate anatomical structure to CNS function
Examine different mechanisms of CNS cellular damage
Examine examples of conditions affecting the CNS to illustrate the impact of different types and locations of CNS damage:
Multiple Sclerosis to illustrate patchy and progressive damage characterised by demyelination and axonal loss in young adults
Parkinson’s Disease to illustrate the impact of damage to a small but unique brain area and its connections in adults
Dementia to illustrate a typical condition of the elderly leading to loss of cognition and memory
