This course deals with the unique aspects of diseases in humans.  The site features a selection of in-depth study questions associated with lecture content and readings, a comprehensive reading list, and assignments tailored to both undergraduates and graduates who enroll in this class.

Explores the relations between neural systems and cognition, emphasizing attention, vision, language, motor control, and memory. Introduces basic neuroanatomy, functional imaging techniques, and behavioral measures of cognition. Discusses methods by which inferences about the brain bases of cognition are made. Considers evidence from patients with neurological diseases (Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, Balint's syndrome, amnesia, and focal lesions from stroke) and from normal human participants. An additional project is required for graduate credit. Alternate years.
