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.
