Udemy - Basics of Neuroscience

What you'll learn
Cellular components of the brain
Functional areas of the brain
Neural communication and circuits
Reading and analyzing neuroscientific research
Requirements
Basic knowledge of cell biology (terminology, cell structures and functions)
Description
Even after a hundred years of research on the brain, it is still a huge mystery to us. The study of the brain, or neuroscience, is therefore immensely popular and is in constant need of more researchers and professionals. In this course, you will learn the basics of how the nervous system is organized and the cells/connections that allow it to work the way it does. You will also learn about the different systems (sensory, motor, visual, auditory, olfactory, and gustatory), in addition to how the nervous system is formed during development. Finally, in order to develop your research literacy, you will be exposed to science literature and will learn about common research methods that you will read about in research articles. This course is perfect for you if you are considering a career in neuroscience and would first like a taste of what your degree will feature. It is also appropriate for anyone from a non-science background who is curious about the brain or someone who is in psychology and would like a better understanding of the biological functioning of the brain. Note: basic cell biology knowledge is a prerequisite (high school/college level).
Who this course is for:
Students who are thinking about pursuing neuroscience and would like to have a better understanding of it
Psychology students who would like to gain more knowledge about how the brain works
Individuals from non-science backgrounds who are curious about neuroscience
