Friday, September 21, 2012 06:00to07:00
The brain is a magnificent and superbly complex organ, and many key questions about its function remain unanswered. Learning objectives:
- To identify the basic neurobiological mechanisms and key brain regions—such as the amygdala and hippocampus—that are involved in mental illnesses;
- To distinguish between a neurological and a psychiatric illness;
- To learn about some of the more recent discoveries into how the memory works.
