Handbook

This course will provide insights into major neural networks and their role in good and poor mental health. The course will also cover theoretical models of the aetiology and neural mechanisms of mental health problems (including, anxiety, depression, addiction and psychosis) and cognition, and the research evidence supporting them. Research methods in Clinical and Cognitive Neuroscience, including experimental, imaging, longitudinal and epidemiological studies will be covered to outline the strengths and limitations of these techniques. The course will consider mental health from the perspective of neuroscience and will therefore also expand and deepen your understanding of human experimental psychology and its neural basis, including behaviour, cognition, emotion and development.
The course will be delivered through online activities and lectures. The tutorials will provide you with experience in the development and presentation of research proposals in the field of clinical and cognitive neuroscience.
