Advances in Human Brain Science for Clinicians

(0.7 ceu)

7 hours CE credit: BRN, LCSW/MFT, and psychologists

A required course in the Professional Program in Neuropsychological Assessment

An understanding of the latest developments in human brain science is increasingly important to providing optimal health and mental health interventions. In addition, contemporary research in neuroscience and the evolving understanding of the connections between brain physiology and mental experience (the mind-body problem) present some of the most exciting topics in all of science. Through discussion of the structure and function of the human nervous system (neurotransmitters, receptors, the effects of various drugs and medications), brain-imaging technologies, advances in understanding sensory perception, and what is known about the neuroscience of the mind, you gain an intuitive appreciation for how the brain operates and how it changes as a result of experience. This one-day class not only provides a solid foundation for further learning about neuropsychology, it also enables clinicians to incorporate the latest neuroscientific knowledge into their practice as well as inform anyone interested in the mind-body connection of the latest research in this area.

Note: Detailed lecture notes and figures will be distributed in class.
