About the Course

Learn how the nervous system produces behavior, how we use our brain every day, and how neuroscience can explain the common problems afflicting people today. We will study functional human neuroanatomy and neuronal communication, and then use this information to understand how we perceive the outside world, move our bodies voluntarily, stay alive, and play well with others....

Εξαιρετικό μάθημα. Σε βοηθάει να κατανοήσεις τη νευροβιολογία μέσα από καθημερινά παραδείγματα. Η καθηγήτρια είναι τρομερά μεταδοτική με ιδιαίτερο μοτίβο διδασκαλίας.
