In this course, you learn about the effects of neurological conditions such as cerebral haemorrhage, traumatic brain injury, epilepsy or dementia on cognitive functioning. The consequences of these conditions teach us something about the way that executive functions, memory and perception are organised in our brains, while simultaneously allowing us to use our theoretical knowledge of these cognitive functions to better understand patients’ disorders and impairments
