The broad multidisciplinary nature of the study of brain and behaviour, including evidence from human and animal work. Aspects of memory and a range of neuropsychological disorders are covered.
Human neuropsychology focuses on various CNS disorders, from both clinical and experimental perspectives. An important facet of this course is to improve your knowledge and understanding by including relevant work on some animal models that is pertinent to understanding human disorders and the broader multidisciplinary study of brain-behaviour relations in general. The areas covered are highly relevant to clinical psychology, but from an academic perspective. The nature of the disorder is emphasized in terms of its neurobiological basis, from the perspective of psychological and behavioural processes rather than mechanistic biological processes.
On satisfactory completion of the course, student will have a critical understanding of brain-behaviour relationships derived from in depth analysis of common human brain disorders, including relevant contributions from animal models of these disorders.
