Detailed coverage of the structure and functioning of the nervous system will be presented. In addition to topics such as the constraints which biological properties have on sensation, perception and learning and the ways in which environmental factors may influence the development and functioning of the central nervous system, special consideration will be given to the functioning of the central nervous system in relation to cognition. Material will be drawn from the fields of neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and cognitive neuropsychology and psychophysiology.
Learning Outcomes
- to develop an appreciation and understanding of what is known about the ways in which the central nervous system functions in sensation, perception and processing of information.
