Detailed coverage of the structure and functioning of the nervous system will be presented.

sensation, perception and learning and the ways in which environmental factors may
influence the development and functioning of the central nervous system, special consideration

Material will be drawn from the fields of neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and cognitive
neuropsychology and psychophysiology.
