1. Understanding NEUROPATHOLOGY

2. N europathology is the study of diseases of the nervous system, which includes the: Brain Spinal cord; and Nerves NEUROPATHOLOGY ? What is

3. BRAIN ANATOMY A solid grasp of brain anatomy enables neuropathologists to accurately locate and diagnose abnormalities within the brain.

4. Causes of Neuropathological Disorders Genetic Factors Environmental Factors Traumatic Injuries Infectious agents Aging process

5. ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE characterized by memory loss, cognitive decline, and changes in behavior. It is the most common cause of dementia, primarily affecting older adults. COMMON Neuropathological Disorders

6. 2. PARKINSON'S DISEASE Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects movement. The disease is caused by the degeneration of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain, particularly in the substantia nigra region. COMMON Neuropathological Disorders

7. Neuropathological Techniques HISTOPATHOLOGY Histopathology is the microscopic examination of tissue samples to study the structural and cellular changes associated with disease.

8. Neuropathological Techniques IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY Immunohistochemistry is valuable in identifying cell types, characterizing tumor markers, and understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying disease pathology.

9. Neuropathological Techniques MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTICS Molecular diagnostics refers to a variety of techniques used to detect and analyze genetic and molecular changes associated with disease.
