PSY4307 – Fundamentals of Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience
Course content
This module covers the biological factors supporting human cognition, such as behavioral genetics and epigenetics, neuro/psychopharmacology and neuroanatomy, as well as central mechanisms underlying etiological aspects of neurological and psychological disorders. Lectures will specifically focus on topics that exemplify interdisciplinary and translational aspects bridging brain anatomy, cognition, and their deviations in mental illness.
Learning outcome
The module’s aims are twofold:
- a broad level of competence in topics relevant to the study of Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience will be established, and
- the dependencies between brain anatomy, cognition, as well as neurocognitive deviations in psychopathological syndromes will be worked out.
