This module will use innovative teaching to equip you with an understanding of the workings of the nervous system and how it goes wrong in disease. You will also learn how to investigate problems with the nervous system and to form your own, novel lines of inquiry and points of view. You will learn how the brain uses sensory information, makes decisions and produces a controlled motor output. The module integrates an understanding of basic physiology with clinical applications, with a continual emphasis on what is meant to happen, what goes wrong in disease, and how such knowledge leads to treatment. You will cover major health issues such as drug addiction, mental illness and dementia. You will learn actively through a combination of simulations, lectures, seminars and workshops. These will teach you in the same way that practicing neuroscientists learn.
