This course explores the neural underpinnings of human cognition and behavior by considering behavioral evidence from individuals with brain damage and behavioral/neuroimaging evidence from healthy individuals. The first part of the course provides an overview of major neuroanatomical systems. The remainder of the course is organized around student-led discussions of current issues in the literature about how the brain gives rise to behavior.
