COGNITION AND NEUROANATOMY
Basic science concepts will be integrated to examine the relationship between neuroanatomy and cognition (e.g., learning and memory, executive function, visual perceptual abilities, etc.). Utilize stroke, epilepsy, dementia and other neurodegenerative disorders from clinical practice to demonstrate the connection between brain structure and cognitive function. Hands on experience in neuropsychological test administration and interpretation will be integrated into learning. Brain imaging correlates for clinical cases will be presented by a clinical neurologist.
