Advanced Neuropsychology 7.5 credits

About the course

The course includes advanced knowledge in neuropsychology, regarding both typical functioning and in clinical populations. The topics covered include biological bases of behavior, memory, emotion, processes of typical and atypical brain development, brain plasticity and mental health conditions. Additionally, it gives an overview of different brain imaging techniques and other neuropsychological assessment methods.  

Scheduled teaching is based on seminars in which students prepare oral presentations on pre-defined themes. Presentations are discussed in class with feedback from the designated teacher. Moreover, students take online quizzes on neuroanatomy and neuropsychology towards completion of the course.  

The in-depth project can either be written as a structured review paper or as a research proposal in neuropsychology. Topics for individual in-depth projects are decided together with supervisors.
