Building Brains: Sub-Cortical structures of the brain

United States · CPD points & talks · Psychologists

Understanding the sub-cortical regions of the brain is essential for psychologists working with clients presenting with memory difficulties, emotional dysregulation, or motor and sensory impairments. Building Brains: Sub-Cortical Structures of the Brain offers a detailed and accessible guide to key deep-brain structures and their clinical relevance.

In this engaging CPD video, participants explore the anatomy and function of the thalamus, basal ganglia, hippocampus, and amygdala. Each structure is examined in terms of its neurological role, such as memory consolidation, emotional regulation, and motor control. The course also covers how dysfunction in these areas presents clinically and offers guidance on assessment considerations for psychologists. Animated visuals and references to related TED Talks help bring complex concepts to life.

This CPD is ideal for psychologists seeking to deepen their neuroanatomical knowledge and improve their ability to link brain structure to clinical symptomatology.
