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. Passionate teacher, well rounded modules. The way of formulating questions in the weekly exams is sometimes difficult to understand. Could and should be cleared by the authors.

Very interesting course. I hope there are more course like this which focused to some interesting issue like split-brain, emotion, personality, sleep based on how the brain works.

This course has educated me a lot about the brain. I now know terms I never knew before and most importantly how our bodies are systems containing and made up of systems.

A very interesting course that delivers neurobiology in an amount of depth that is not too basic, but still understandable by people who do not really major in biology.

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