Course Description:
This course examines the way in which brain function influences mental processes and overt action. We will consider a range of cognitive functions, primarily from the perspective of neuroscience and draw on such related disciplines as cognitive psychology and computational analysis as needed. The functions to be reviewed include perception, attention, memory, executive control, and thinking. We will apply principles of brain development, plasticity and evolution to these cognitive functions to help understand brain diseases and disorders.
