    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.

    Excellent course for understanding the extent to which human neurobiology is complex and fascinating, with multiple opportunities to compare findings with other species and get a better understanding.

    As a molecular biologist who is interested in neurosciences, I have learnt a great deal from Prof. Mason. She really is a neuro-chauvinist (in a good way)!
