5 units · topic sequence may vary by instructor
The course builds enough neuroanatomical and functional context to interpret changes after injury or disease.
Neurological conditions are examined through effects on cognition, behavior, and everyday function.
Neuropsychological assessment uses structured tasks and patterns of performance to characterize strengths and impairments.
Cognitive rehabilitation and brain plasticity frame recovery as a process shaped by mechanisms, context, and intervention.
The course closes by evaluating current controversies and the limits of clinical inference from brain and behavior data.
Functions depend on networks and systems even when a lesion has a focal location.
A single score rarely explains a person; profiles and context matter.
Recovery can reflect reorganization, compensation, learning, and task demands.
Brain images, tests, and behavior each reveal different parts of the picture.
Common pitfall
Instead
Use network and task context when explaining function.
Common pitfall
Instead
Consider baseline, validity, language, mood, and clinical context.
Common pitfall
Instead
Separate what the evidence shows from what remains uncertain.
