| Course objective | This lecture includes technical and electrophysiological features of polysomnography recorded in the patients with primary sleep disorders and other neurological diseases like epilepsy and extrapyramidal sytem disorders which mostly with sleep disorders. Lectures will be given in one theoretical hours and four practical hours weekly. Joining lectures is obligatory. | |||||

| Course Content | The first studies related to sleep medicine were done by physiologists and psychologists. But neurologists and psychiatrists examined their patients during sleep, lead to progression in sleep medicine clinically. After recording of sleep by EEG, the diagnosis of patients and sleep disorders can be proven electrophysiologically. The recording of sleep is known as polysomnography (PSG). In addition to EEG, electromyography, electrooculugraphy and respysomnography are recorded during PSG to see the physiological and pathological changes. In this lesson clinical and PSG findings of primary and secondary sleep disorders will be learned. | |||||
