Building Brains: Foundations of neuroanatomy

Australia · CPD points & talks · Psychologists

Understanding the structural foundations of the brain is essential for psychologists working across a range of practice areas, from neuropsychology to clinical intervention and cognitive development. Building Brains: Foundations of Neuroanatomy provides an accessible yet comprehensive introduction to key neuroanatomical concepts and structures.

This self-paced video learning module introduces the gross anatomy of the brain, including lobes, sulci, gyri, and the distinctions between grey and white matter. Delving deeper, the course examines the brainstem’s three sections—midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata—highlighting their respective functions, associated cranial nerves, and how dysfunctions can manifest clinically. The final section explores the internal capsule, a major white matter structure, and its critical role in motor and sensory pathways.

This CPD is ideal for psychologists looking to refresh their knowledge of brain anatomy or build foundational knowledge in neuroanatomy for future neuropsychological learning
