Introduction to Neuropsychology

Introduction to Neuropsychology is a Cognitive Science class taught by Jay Trudeau.

Course Description
With brain imaging technology increasingly available, more and more of our behaviors are being attributed to physiology. Neuropsychology explores the link between the physical structures of the brain and the less tangible attributes of the mind. This course will introduce the student to the basic anatomy and physiology of the brain, explore how those structures interact to form a functional mind, and examine what happens when something goes wrong. Students will be expected to read and summarize journal papers, as well as finding and reporting on additional materials on a chosen topic.
