Introduction to Clinical Neuropsychology

Undergraduate catalogue

Much of what we know about the brain systems underlying perception, attention, memory, and language has been first derived from patients with brain lesions or other brain pathology. Despite our advances in functional brain imaging the study of clinical cases in neuropsychology is still important to determine the causal role of certain brain regions in contributing to a given cognitive process. Prerequisite: an introductory neuroscience course such as NEU 201 or NEU 202. This course is aimed at students with an interest in clinical psychology, pre-med, and Neuroscience majors with an interest in clinical applications.
