- Describe the neurobiological and neuropsychological mechanisms associated with symptoms and symptom clusters of different psychiatric disorders
- Understand the main neurobiological and neuropsychological models of different psychiatric symptoms and symptom clusters, and their implications for diagnosis and treatment
- Formulate research questions and hypotheses regarding the neurobiological and neuropsychological mechanisms associated with different psychiatric symptoms and symptom clusters
- Develop and critically evaluate research design to investigate these research questions within a cognitive neuropsychiatry framework
- Critically reflect on the strength and weaknesses of the main methods in cognitive neuropsychiatry
Course Description
The objective of this course understand how cognitive neuropsychiatry may contribute to our understanding of the development and persistence of psychiatric symptoms, and how this may advance diagnosis and treatment. The course will discuss current neuroanatomical, neuroendocrine, neuropsychological, and/or neuropharmacological models of different symptoms and symptom clusters in psychiatric disorders. Students will learn to critically evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the most commonly applied methods and research designs in cognitive neuropsychiatry and will also gain practice how to design and assess research proposals to test new hypotheses within this domain.
The course consists of a series of (guest) lectures, in which each lecture covers a specific psychiatric disorder from a cognitive neuropsychiatry perspective.
