CLPS 1400 - The Neural Bases of Cognition (formerly PSYC 1880)

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

Research using animal models has informed and guided many of the recent advances in our understanding of the brain mechanisms underlying cognition. This seminar course will address topics related to animal models of human cognition. Students learn about how different aspects of the neural bases of cognition are modeled in animals by reviewing the primary research literature. The course is divided into three sections, each addressing one animal model in one cognitive domain. Selected papers will emphasize learning, memory, and attention, but may also address other aspects of cognition, for example decision-making, or cognitive impairment associated with neuropathology or aging. Prerequisite: CLPS 0040 (COGS 0720), CLPS 0400 (PSYC 0470), or NEUR 0010; and CLPS 1190 (PSYC 1030), CLPS 1191 (PSYC 1450), CLPS 1192 (PSYC 1200), or NEUR 1600; or instructor permission. Enrollment limited to 20. Not open to first year students.
