Structure and Function in the Developing Brain

This course will examine the development of brain-behaviour relationships between pre-infancy and adulthood from converging behavioural, neurophysiological, and neuroimaging perspectives. Topics will include structural brain development, the emergence and refinement of functional brain systems, sequelae of early brain insult, and the role of plasticity in recovery and 'neuroenhancement'. This course is not recommended for students outside of the areas of Psychology, Health Studies and Gerontology, and Kinesiology.
