Prin Human Neuropsychology

Lec 01 selected

Clinical neuropsychologists study the organization of cognitive, emotional, and social functions in the brain to understand how brain damage alters human behaviour across the lifespan. We examine how clinicians diagnose and rehabilitate persons with brain diseases and disorders. Assignments emphasize application of textbook/lecture-based knowledge, critical thinking, and group presentation skills.
