Kolb, B. & Whipsaw, I.Q. (2003). Fundamentals of human neuropsychology. 5th ed. New York, NY: Worth Publishers.
Overview: Discuss theories and models of human neuropsychology with emphasis on learning about the different and complementary functions of left and right brain mechanisms in mediating cognitive as well as emotional processes. Functional topics include attention, memory, perception, reasoning and judgment, and other cognitive domains. In addition, brain mechanisms underlying neuropsychiatric disorders, depression/anxiety and dyscontrolled emotional behavior will be studied. Research methods and neurodiagnostic procedures involving MRI, fMRI, PET, CT and EEG will be reviewed. Clinical case studies and research reports will also be cited.
OBJECTIVES: Provide student with a working knowledge about structural-functional relations of the human brain in mediating cognitive and emotional functions:
1. Advance an understanding about how the aforementioned domains are altered by diffuse or focal insult to the left and right hemispheres.
2. Review anatomicoclinical methods and basis for detecting neuro-vs-psychogenic basis of behavioral disorders [illustrations with case materials]. Introduce students to invasive and non-invasive diagnostic and research procedures used to study brain-bahvior relations
[MRI, fMRI, EEG, CT; site visits].
3. Develop appreciation for research and clinical services in neuropsychology and cognitive neurosciences.
