This course examines the neural mechanisms that underlie cognitive processes, focusing on brain anatomy, neurophysiology, and the methods of cognitive neuroscience (e.g., EEG, fMRI). Students explore how structures like the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, and amygdala support functions such as executive control, memory formation, and emotional regulation. For professionals in Zambia's growing Health sector, this knowledge is vital for understanding neurological disorders, contributing to neurorehabilitation teams, or working in clinical settings that assess cognitive decline. 25schools provides detailed, illustrated notes on functional neuroanatomy, simplified explanations of neuroimaging techniques, and case studies linking brain damage to cognitive deficits, offering crucial support for students at CBU and UNZA to master this complex material for exams and future applied work.

This course examines how cognitive processes—from perception and memory to reasoning and problem-solving—emerge, change, and sometimes decline from infancy through old age. It integrates biological, psychological, and social-cultural perspectives, with special attention to factors relevant to Zambian children and aging populations. This knowledge is critical for careers in educational curriculum …

This course examines how cognitive processes—from perception and memory to reasoning and problem-solving—emerge, change, and sometimes decline from infancy through old age. It integrates biological, psychological, and social-cultural perspectives, with special attention to factors relevant to Zambian children and aging populations. This knowledge is critical for careers in educational curriculum design, geriatric care program development for the Ministry of Health, child-focused NGO work, or designing age-appropriate technologies. 25schools delivers comprehensive study aids, including charts of developmental milestones, analyses of cross-cultural research, and application exercises for designing interventions, helping final-year students at CBU and Mulungushi University excel in exams and prepare for specialized roles in Education, Healthcare, and Social Services.

This specialized course focuses on the assessment, diagnosis, and cognitive rehabilitation of disorders affecting thinking, memory, and perception, such as dementia, traumatic brain injury, stroke, and ADHD. Students learn evidence-based intervention strategies to improve cognitive function and compensate for deficits, a skill set crucial for working in neurorehabilitation units at hospitals like UTH, occupational therapy teams, or private practice as a Cognitive Rehabilitation Specialist. With an aging population and road traffic accidents prevalent in Zambia, these skills are in increasing demand. 25schools provides vital resources including cognitive assessment tool overviews, rehabilitation exercise protocols, and case management templates, preparing students for challenging exams and for impactful clinical or research careers in Zambia's Health sector.

This hands-on methodological course provides in-depth training in the tools used to study the brain bases of cognition. Students learn the principles, strengths, and limitations of techniques such as electroencephalography (EEG), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and eye-tracking. Proficiency in these methods opens career paths in …

This hands-on methodological course provides in-depth training in the tools used to study the brain bases of cognition. Students learn the principles, strengths, and limitations of techniques such as electroencephalography (EEG), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and eye-tracking. Proficiency in these methods opens career paths in neurodiagnostics, academic research at Zambian universities, and applied neuroscience roles within the Health sector or technology-driven industries. 25schools supports this technical training with simplified explanations of complex physics principles, guides on interpreting brain imaging data, and virtual lab resources, providing crucial supplemental material for students at Mulungushi University and others to master practical exams and prepare for research-intensive careers or postgraduate study.
