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.
