About this course
Acquired brain injury (ABI) leads to significant changes in cognition, emotion, behavior, and experience of self. Disorders such as aphasia, amnesia, and unilateral neglect are explored as regards brain-behavior relationships. Research findings are used to further understand both ABI sequelae and self-constructs such as self-concept, self-esteem, and self-efficacy. Case studies are used to highlight the complex and integrative aspects of neuroanatomy, functional brain networks, key characteristics of disorders, and impact on the brain-injured individual.
One course in neuroscience or psychology at university level.
