Introduction to Medical Neuroscience Learn more

?Do you want to explore the structure and function of the human central nervous system? If your answer is yes then take this free online course titled “Medical Neuroscience” and get better understanding of nervous system, and learn some key terms of neuroscience, such as human neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and neural plasticity.
What is Neuroscience?
Neuroscience is the scientific study of central nervous system. Initially, neuroscience was considered as a branch of biology; however, currently it is treated an interdisciplinary science that collaborates with other fields of science as well, including physics, chemistry, psychology, philosophy, medicine, computer science, linguistics etc. The term neurobiology is usually used interchangeably with the term neuroscience, though neurobiology, as the name suggests, refers particularly to the biology of nervous system.
Who can take this course?
Medical students who want to specialize in neurology are the prospective participants of this course. Undergraduates who want to pursue advanced studies in the brain sciences can also benefit from this course by exploring the structure and function of human brain.
What are the benefits of this course?
The primary objective of this free online course if to help medical students interpret impairments of sensation, action and cognition that come with a neurological injury, disease or dysfunction. It will also explain you how neuroscience discovery translates to clinical practice.
