About the Course

Medical Neuroscience explores the functional organization and neurophysiology of the human central nervous system, while providing a
neurobiological framework for understanding human behavior. In this course, you will discover the organization of the neural systems in the
brain and spinal cord that mediate sensation, motivate bodily action, and integrate sensorimotor signals with memory, emotion and related
faculties of cognition. The overall goal of this course is to provide the foundation for understanding the impairments of sensation, action and
cognition that accompany injury, disease or dysfunction in the central nervous system. The course will build upon knowledge ...

I have not really taken any Neuroscience courses and I have to say this was very challenging with my already full-time load at school but I did it! Yay! I love Dr. White he is an awesome professor!

This course was a great opportunity for me to understand the world of neurology and helped me to clear all the ambiguities regarding the complex mechanisms that are happening in our beautiful brains.

I'm suprised by how much knowledge I gained by the end of the course. The physiology and anatomy of the brain were my favourite parts and I loved learning about the functions of each part of the brain. Week 12 was my favourite. Initially, I thought the course would be full of learning about the functions of the brain but instead, there was a lot of neurology. Nonetheless, great course for understanding the fundamentals of the brain and this neurobiochem basis is what helps in understanding the bigger picture. Note/ advice: the only science I've done is AP physics and math. If you seek to understand the topics and make notes as you go along then there is no difficulty in completing the course!

Neuroscience to me is like a puzzle: you have a lesion in the brain and you locate this by using the symptoms presented in the patient. This is what makes it fun, I love researching and investigating!

It was an incredible job by Dr. White over these 200+ hours to help conceptualize principles of neuroscience such as 1. self-organization (cell to cell) 2. Genetics 3. Sensorimotor in developing the brain and the cool studies on how our perception of the orientation of objects requires sensory, but perception of movement is self organized.

This is an excellent program; very challenging. Some of the quizzes took multiple attempts and the final quizzes were summarizing of the lessons. Thank you Prof. White for the excellent lectures, and all your crew for.the production.
