Neuroanatomy for Neuropsychologists - PSYN855
In this unit students explore the human brain, and examine the neuroanatomical and behavioural consequences of brain damage. The unit adopts the standard correlative neuroanatomy approach, discussing development of the nervous system and the anatomy of the mature nervous system (the brain stem and associated structures, diencephalon, and telencephalon; blood supply; white matter pathways; ventricles; and meninges). By the end of the unit students are expected to identify, describe the role of structures of the brain and understand the implications of damage to structures of the brain for neuropsychological practice.
