Course description
Cognitive and Behavioural Neuroscience is concerned with understanding the neural basis of human cognition and behaviour. The course will provide students with an in-depth understanding of neuroscientific approaches to the study of human brain function. The course covers major themes of attention and perception, cognitive control and the cognitive basis of psychopathology, and the planning execution of actions. Lectures will be complemented with a tutorial Journal Club in which current issues in the field will be explored and discussed.
