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....

This course has turned out to very profitable, especially if you are not an expert in anatomical and clinical terms as is my case. In my opinion, this course is extremely interesting, congratulations.

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.

Really great course. Very informative and I learned a lot about. I really liked Dr. Mason, she was very knowledgeable and had a great personality.

Only issue I had was there always seemed to be stuff on the quizzes that were not mentioned in the modules.

There are few questions whose answers contraindicates the teachings of Professor Peggy. Other than that the course is very well explained and gives the basic knowledge about Neurobiology which was exactly that I needed.

Excellent course to support independent reading on the topics. It would have been nice to know a bit more on neurons and glia cells but obviously for a basic level course it is not possible to include everything.

It was a very interesting course that spread across lots of different topics covering a wide range of neurology. The lecturer is also very nice and has a great personality and explains the content very well.

I enjoyed this course. I took it as part of a requirement for a neurofeedback certifocation (non-degree) and I appreciated Dr Mason’s ability to make the science applicable to every day life.

I loved this course and learned lots. However it seemed to not have been updated for several years and has not addressed the areas of neuroscience that have developed in those years

Sometimes a bit hard to follow, and the end of week questions felt a little unrelated at times. But overall really really informative and enjoyable
