NS&B 228 |
This introductory course will examine the relationship between brain functioning and cognition, behavior, and emotion. The course will begin with a brief overview of basic neuroanatomy and neurophysiology, followed by an exploration of neuropsychological assessment (its history, rationale, goals, and procedures). These topics will provide a foundation for the discussion of more specific topics in neuropsychology (e.g., traumatic brain injury, dementia, psychiatric disorders, alcohol and drug abuse, cerebrovascular disorders, seizure disorders, learning disabilities, etc.) and the role that neuropsychologists play in the evaluation and treatment of individuals with these disorders. |
