Coordinator: Ana Raposo (University of Lisbon)

Learning Outcomes: The course is intended to provide a rigorous introduction to some of the main research methods in neuropsychology. Students are expected to:
1. Learn the basic principles of experimental design and the specificities of each method
2. Think critically about the strengths and limitations of each research method
3. Plan the different steps associated with data collection
4. Learn the processing steps associated with data analyses 5. Be able to interpret the results
6. Use the available software packages

Coordinator: Adriana Sampaio (University of Minho)

Learning Outcomes: The course is intended to provide a complete introduction to the main macroscopic and functional organization of the central and peripheral nervous system and was defined based on an adaptation of a Delphi Panel for Neuroanatomy (Moxham et al. 2015). At the end of this course, students are expected to:
1. Know the main macroscopic and functional organization of the central and peripheral nervous system;
2. Match alterations of the functional anatomy with main clinical symptoms;
3. Match structural and functional anatomy with 3D medical images;
4. Describe the cerebrovascular anatomy, vascular territories and clinical correlates of an injury;
5. Describe the anatomy-function correlation in major neurological syndromes.

Coordinator: Jorge Almeida (University of Coimbra)

Learning Outcomes: The goal of this course is to familiarize students with the functioning of the brain, and its relationship with cognitive, emotional and social domains. We will also focus on how the most used methods in the cognitive neurosciences (fMRI, TMS, EEG, etc.) allow for the understanding of the brain-mind relationship. At the end of this course, students should be able to understand how different cognitive, affective, and emotional processes are related to different types of response patterns in different neuronal areas.

Coordinator: Óscar F. Gonçalves (University of Minho)

4. To use appropriate softwares to detect plagiarism

Coordinator: Adriana Sampaio (University of Minho) [15 h TP],

Learning Outcomes:
1. Acquire knowledge about the semiology of the neurologic/neurosurgical and psychiatric patient.
2. Recognise the main pathological signs after the neuropsychological assessment interview and the neurological examination.
3. Know the epidemiology of the different neuropsychological and psychiatric pathologies.
4. Recognise the clinical signs and symptoms of the different neuropsychological and psychiatric pathologies.
5. Train the skills of diagnosis in neuropsychology and psychiatry as well as the structuring of the functional and etiological diagnosis in syndromes, topography and anatomy.
6. Identify clinical conditions that require a specific clinical approach.

Coordinator: Ana P. Pinheiro (University of Lisbon)

Learning Outcomes: The course is intended to provide students with knowledge and clinical skills required for the goals of neuropsychological assessment, diagnosis and rehabilitation of patients with brain dysfunctions.
Students are expected to:
1. Think critically about main problems regarding neuropsychological assessment, diagnosis and rehabilitation.
2. Understand the role of neuropsychology across the lifespan.
3. Learn neuropsychological aspects of common neurological problems (including
epilepsy, stroke, dementia, brain injury).
4. Develop skills and competences to plan and conduct neuropsychological assessment
and diagnosis as well as plan rehabilitation programs for patients with
neuropsychological disorders.
5. Learn evidence-based interventions for addressing the cognitive and emotional
consequences of common neuropsychological problems.
6. Be aware of the impact of culture, equality and diversity on practice.
7. Understand the importance of and be able to maintain confidentiality.
8. Be able to draw on appropriate knowledge and skills to inform practice.
9. Be able to communicate effectively.

Coordinator: Mário R. Simões (University of Coimbra) [15 h TP]

Learning Outcomes: The goal of this course are to provide students with in-depth knowledge of neuropsychological assessment process considering principles, techniques (interviews, observation and tests (Wechsler Intelligence Scales; Premorbid Intelligence; Cognitive Reserve; Cognitive Screening; Memory; Attention; Executive Functions; Activities of daily living; Effort, response bias and malingering) and neuropsychological reports.

Coordinator: Adriana Sampaio (University of Minho) [15 h TP]

Learning Outcomes: The goal of this course are to provide students with in-depth knowledge of Neuropsychological Rehabilitation considering principles, programs and techniques, different neurocognitive domains (attention, memory, executive functions, language, perceptual / spatial disorders), as well as various clinical conditions (Neurodevelopmental disorders, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, cranioencephalic trauma, cerebrovascular accidents, dementia). Students will gain knowledge on the complexity of neuropsychological rehabilitation work; Identify practical and ethical issues related to the use of different rehabilitation techniques; Review the published research.
