Content
- Basics: Models and statistics
- Cerebrovasculature and regulation of cerebral blood flow
- Cerebrovascular disorders (CVD) risk factors
- Types and pathophysiology of CVD
- Complications in stroke
- Brain - immune interaction

Learning Outcome
Graduates of this module
- know how pathophysiological processes are experimentally designed at different CVDs.
- comprehend partial aspects of pathophysiological processes in their temporal dependence at CVDs in the acute and chronic phase
- identify experimental approaches for a modulation of these pathophysiological processes, especially as a base for innovative therapy approaches
- analyze advantages and interaction of in vivo and in vitro models for the pathophysiological comprehension and development of new therapy concepts
- compare the design of experimental and clinical studies
- compare results of animal experiments with results from clinical studies
- assess the design of experiments
- challenge the implication of experiments for clinical practice
