Basic brain/behaviour relationships are introduced in the context of neuro-anatomical and neurotransmitter systems. Traditional theories of on brain function are reviewed, and include coverage of major neuropsychological domains (e.g., attention, memory, language, perception, sensory-motor, processing speed, executive function, emotion) and clinically relevant methods that evaluate central nervous system integrity (e.g., imaging, EEG, and neuropsychological evaluation).
