Overview

Neuroscience of Mental Health from University of York, you'll study how the brain, neurochemistry and genetics contribute to the behavioural patterns that we observe in different mental illnesses.

Key facts

You'll also examine how the understanding and treatment of psychiatric disorders has been improved by the advent of modern neuroscientific techniques, including neuroimaging and brain stimulation.
