This course will examine neural systems in the brain with a view to understanding the neurobiological, psychiatric and cognitive bases of a selected number of human neurological conditions. The topics may vary from year to year but will include memory and related systems in the brain, as well as neurodegenerative conditions such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and different dementias including Alzheimer's disease. Neurodevelopmental changes and related issues, for example foetal alcohol effects, may also be considered. Some understanding of neuroscience methods will be included, especially brain imaging and neuropsychopharmacology.
