PSYC 356  Fundamentals of Clinical Neuropsychology
Neuropsychology is the study of how the systems of the brain
work together to support thought and behavior.
Neuropsychologists often infer the function of a particular
brain region by assessing the type of dysfunction expressed
after damage to that brain area following a stroke or head
trauma. In this course, students learn basic neuroanatomy,
clinical assessments, and the functional delineations of the
brain's cortex. Topics may include split brain patients,
language disorders, perceptual agnosias, Parkinson's Disease,
attentional neglect, phantom-limb syndrome, and memory loss.
