Track 3: Clinical Neurophysiology
Clinical neurophysiology examines the bioelectrical activity of the central and peripheral nervous systems, encompassing both spontaneous and induced processes. This field bridges the study of pathophysiology and the development of diagnostic methods for disorders affecting these systems. It serves as a continuation of a neurology consultation, with tests often extending beyond laboratory settings. Stroke remains the third leading cause of death globally and the primary cause of acquired neurological disabilities. In ischemic strokes, a cascade of events triggered by excitotoxicity leads to tissue damage shortly after the onset of impaired blood flow.
