Functional Neuroanatomy
· CPD points & talks · Psychologists
This introductory module provides psychologists and mental health professionals with a foundational understanding of functional neuroanatomy—the study of how brain structures relate to behaviour and psychological function. Through a clear and engaging lecture, participants will be guided through the brain’s major morphological features and functional landmarks.
The course focuses on key regions of the cerebral cortex, including the frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes, highlighting their unique contributions to sensory processing, motor control, memory, language, and executive function. Whether you are a clinician, educator, or student, this session will enhance your capacity to integrate neuroscientific concepts into psychological assessment, formulation, and treatment planning.
