Where PSYC-3910 counts

Counts toward 3 more as one option among several, not as a course you must take:

  • NSCI 3-YEAR BSc IN NEUROSCIENCE
  • NSCI 4-YEAR BSc IN NEUROSCIENCE
  • NSCI HONOURS BSc IN NEUROSCIENCE

Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 71 of 141 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.

Description

The course assumes basic knowledge of neuroanatomy and focuses on the understanding of neural function provided by a study of congenital malformation of structure, brain disease, and behavioural loss. Topics include the following: developmental anomalies and associated behaviours; plasticity and recovery of function following insult or disease; localization of function; hemispheric specialization; epilepsy. Although not a prerequisite, Human Neuropsychology would be especially useful as a background for all the following courses: PSYC-2600(3), PSYC-3600(3), and PSYC-4600(3).
