Developmental Neuroscience and Psychopathology MRes

The programme provides an introduction to a range of perspectives on developmental psychopathology, covering all major disorders of childhood. Why do disorders such as anxiety, depression, or autism emerge? How can we understand these disorders in relation to mental processes and representations? And what can a neuroscience approach add?

The programme focuses on being able to effectively critique current research as we as the development of practical research skills, including techniques such as fMRI and EEG/ERP.
