Building Brains: The Cortex & Cerebellum

Canada · CEU points & talks · Psychologists

Understanding the structure and function of the cortex and cerebellum is vital for psychologists working in neuropsychology, rehabilitation, and general clinical practice. Building Brains: The Cortex and Cerebellum provides a clear and practical overview of these essential brain regions and their role in behaviour, cognition, and recovery.

This course begins with a review of the cortical lobes and their core functions, followed by a focused look at the cerebellum, including its anatomy and the clinical consequences of cerebellar damage. The course also explains the three main cerebral arteries—anterior, middle, and posterior—and the neurological impact of strokes within these territories. To bridge theory with practice, the course concludes with a discussion on left vs right hemisphere lesions and explores evidence-based approaches in cognitive rehabilitation following brain injury.

This CEU is ideal for psychologists seeking to enhance their knowledge of neuroanatomy and its clinical applications in both acute and rehabilitation settings
