Everything that goes on in the mind, the way we see, feel, remember and act, is constrained by the way the brain works.
Like the other core area topic modules, the Brain & Behaviour modules run through Years 1 and 2 and is in Semester 1 in both years. In each year, the module is split into four teaching blocks covering different topics. These blocks are often taught by different members of staff.

In Year 2 the aim is to understand how the human brain mediates higher mental functions such as attention, language, memory and action. We will explore what we can learn about normal psychological processes using different methods in cognitive neuroscience. Finally, we will examine how populations of neurons act together to represent the world and control behaviour.
