During the course, we talk about the function and structure of neurons, their systemic features in connection the neurontransmitters, the main anantomical, 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: : therories of neurophisiology 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 autonomy/ responsibility Students are able to apply the acquired knowledge on their own, in accordance with the ethical guidelines of psychology, but only for purposes corresponding to their level of competence.
