DESCRIPTION
This course aims at introducing students to the theory and practice of Clinical Neuropsychology. The course will cover brain mechanisms underlying behavior and cognitive functioning: brain damage, loss of function, and clinical assessment; and to apply this knowledge to the design of individualized patient interventions. Students will gain an understanding of the field through the review of the several neuropsychological disorders, including pediatric, cognitive, and neurological disorders. The course takes an interdisciplinary approach integrating information from several subfields of medicine (neurology, neuroradiology and psychiatry) and psychology (cognitive, abnormal, developmental, biological, health psychology). Students will acquire knowledge through interrelated forms of teaching, giving students multiple ways of learning the material. The course is "case-based". At each class, disorders will be reviewed presenting symptoms, etiology/neuropathology, and neuropsychological profiles for specific disorders/diseases. An overview of neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and neurodevelopment will be provided within the context of each disease/disorder to provide the students with diagnostic and therapeutic tools.
