In this course, you learn about the effects of different neurological conditions such as dementia, epilepsy, or stroke, on behavior and cognitive functioning. The consequences of these conditions teach us something about the way that executive functions, memory, and perception are organized in our brains. At the same time, we use our theoretical knowledge of the brain and cognitive functions to better understand patients’ disorders and impairments.
