'This module covers the information on the neural and endocrine systems required for the MRCPsych exam.

Initially we describe the various structures involved in daily functioning, from arousal to the more complex executive cognitive functions, showing how to locate lesions depending on any deficits in functioning.

We then cover memory and emotions, describing how these develop within the neural and endocrine systems. We also provide essential information about the various hormones involved in hunger, thirst and sexual drives.
