Comprehensive Guide to Higher Cortical Function Assessment

In this lecture, we provide a clear, systematic, and clinically relevant guide to Higher Cortical Function (HCF) assessment, an essential component of the neurological examination. This video is designed for medical students, residents, neurology trainees, and healthcare professionals preparing for clinical exams and bedside practice.
You will learn how to assess key domains of higher brain function, including orientation, attention, language, memory, gnosia, praxis, calculation, abstract thinking, judgment, and visuospatial skills, with emphasis on lesion localization and clinical interpretation.
This session covers:
• Principles of Higher Cortical Function assessment
• Bedside examination techniques explained step by step
• Clinical relevance in stroke, dementia, traumatic brain injury, encephalopathy, and tumors
• How to differentiate focal vs diffuse cortical dysfunction
• Practical tips for exam preparation and real-world neurology practice
🎓 Ideal for:
Medical students • Neurology residents • Internal medicine trainees • Nursing and allied health professionals • Exam candidates
