This course is a broad introduction to the nervous system. While mastering the entire system is impossible in one semester, this course will give you a solid foundation in core neuroscience principles and many of the neural systems that underlie sensation, behavior, emotion, and cognition. My goal is that each of you will walk away with a deeper understanding and appreciation for the brain.
To achieve this goal, the following course objectives have been identified. You will:
1. Learn the basic components of the nervous system, from molecular to system levels.
2. Develop an understanding of how the brain controls body functions and behaviors.
3. Apply this new knowledge to explain conditions, diseases, and differences of the human nervous system.
