| Omschrijving | The course provides an overview of the relationship between brain and behaviour from a (clinical) neuropsychological perspective. The consequences of different types of brain dysfunction and brain damage are described in terms of neuropsychological functional impairments. The students learn about the clinical manifestations of more common neuropsychological syndromes after brain damage, how these syndromes can be assessed and impairments treated. Various case reports are presented to clarify the course contents and to illustrate how scientifically sound knowledge is translated into the applied field. These case reports also help students understand the impact neuropsychological syndromes can have on daily life. | ||||||||
