One course I am taking is a fourth year seminar course titled "Neuropsychology of Abnormal Behaviour" that covers the neuroscience/neurology behind cognitive defects.
Course Description:
"This is a seminar-style course that provides an advanced introduction to the study of brain behaviour relationships. The overarching objective of this course is to provide students with a survey of major clinical neuropsychological disorders that impact attention, memory, language, executive functions, processing speed, visual-spatial abilities, and motor functions. Students can expect to learn: i) how disrupted neuroanatomy and neurophysiology relate to specific patterns of cognitive, emotional, and other behavioural features; ii) basic approaches and issues related to evaluation of various neuropsychological disorders; iii) neuropsychological approaches to treatment of major disorders; and iv) current issues and trends in the broader field of clinical 2 neuropsychology. Readings for this course will be drawn from various sources and combine classical neuropsychological theories with cutting-edge research in clinical neuroscience."
The other course is "Neural Basis of Behaviour"
Course Description:
"This course will review the neural bases of behavior from a cognitive neuroscience perspective, with an emphasis on human cognitive function and dysfunction. Initial lectures will consist of a general introduction to functional neuroanatomy, cortical organization, and the various methods used by cognitive neuroscientists. These will be followed by lectures focusing on specific areas of cognitive functioning and related disorders (e.g., attention & neglect; memory & amnesia; language & aphasia, etc.). Case reports will be used to illustrate key points. Students will explore findings from cognitive, neuropsychology, and neuroscience studies to understand the relationships between brain, behaviour, and cognitive function."
Anyone know if one of these or both could count as a science course for the LOR requirement? I already have one science LOR from one my prereq courses so i just need 1 more. I don't really have a proper relationship with any of my other science profs as it been 3 years since i have taken my science pre reqs so ideally if either of these could work as science course that would be great.
