Join us for an exciting journey as we navigate the pathways of the nervous system to uncover the mind’s deepest secrets. We will unravel the mysteries of the brain by decoding its unique language, navigating the intricacies of thought, and understanding the signals that power our every move.
Course Description
Neuroscience is a rapidly expanding integrative discipline that explores solutions to some of the most critical questions in healthcare and science. In this class you’ll observe key anatomical features of the brain and analyze the behavior of cells and circuits that impact how we remember, learn, see, and speak. Examine how damage to these structures can lead to trauma, neurodegenerative disease, and deficits. Learn core concepts such as neural development, synaptic transmissions, and neuroanatomy of vertebrates. Discover how the brain processes information, why neurons sometimes misbehave, and why brains have the ability to throw tantrums (like headaches!). Through fundamental computational techniques students will understand the core functions of the nervous system while exploring the historical and philosophical foundations of the discipline. If you aspire to a career in medicine or want to be at the forefront of science research in the 21st Century, this exploratory class is a great place to begin!
