NPSM001 (CPY6124) Основи на невропсихологията
Анотация:
This unit covers the main research areas and methods used in investigating brain structure and function. The unit will provide students with sound knowledge on the brain’s structure and function, at both macro and micro level (cellular, molecular), as well as with knowledge on the relationship between brain structure and function and various mental processes. Students will be introduced to basic principles and mechanisms of brain recovery after head traumatic injury and stroke, as well as to methods in neuroscience, in particular, imaging methods (EEG, fMRI etc), case studies, and applied clinical neuroscience (e.g., neurofeedback, TMS, tDCS etc.).
