Oktatás célja

Aim of the course Aim of the course: to provide a working knowledge base about the theories and methodologies of cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology, from the physiology of the neuron, to the system of functional circuits. During the course, we talk about the function and structure of neurons, their systemic features in connection the neurotransmitters, the main anatomical, functional and developmental features of brain parts and processes and their connection to typical and atypical behavior. A focus is given also to methodological possibilities in cognitive sciences, including animal models, case studies, standardized testing, behavioral and brain imaging studies and the combination of both. Learning outcome, competences knowledge: theories of neurophysiology and neurotransmission main cognitive scientific theories methods in neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience attitude: to prepare students for the possibilities and challenges of studying neuropsychology and neuroscience in the long term, as a career to promote an open, critical thinking based, inquisitive standpoint toward neuroscience  skills: basic framework for professional, evidence –based thinking and argumentation about possible brain-behavior connections working knowledge about the common methods in neuropsychology and neuroscience
