COGNITION AND NEUROANATOMY

CS&D 503

Basic neuroanatomical and neurophysiological mechanisms underlying the communication process. Neuropathologies and their associated communication disorders.

OCCTHER 640

Overview of neuroanatomical structures relevant for students in allied health professional training who work with clinical populations. The anatomical regions deemed most significant to practice, given current understandings of the brain and its function, will be explored. The primary focus is on the anatomical regions, neurophysiology, and resultant observable phenomenology related to human function as well as practical clinical application and current research findings.

NEURODPT/NTP/PSYCH 611

Introduction to the anatomy and physiology of the mammalian nervous system. Lectures will cover the neuroanatomy of the major subdivisions of the human brain, the major sensory and motor systems, and higher order functions. Lab/discussion sections will emphasize readings from the primary literature and hands-on dissections.

NEUROL 735

Overview of the major categories of human neurological and opthalmological disease to fundamental topics in neurobiology.

PSYCH 720

Provides a broad overview of principles that underlie our understanding of how the structure and function of the brain give rise to cognition and intelligent behavior, and of the methods with which cognitive neuroscience research is carried out. The content covered can be summarized as neuroscience with direct implications for understanding the neural bases of human behavior, and will include anatomical, cellular, systems, behavioral, neuropsychological, and computational levels of analysis. The emphasis will be on domains of behavior traditionally covered by cognitive psychology and neurology, but with explicit consideration, when applicable, of implications for understanding affect, social behavior, and psychopathology.
