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 an d 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.
