[Coursera] Medical Neuroscience

Medical Neuroscience is a hard major studying about the functional organization and neurophysiology of the human central nervous system, while providing a neurobiological framework for understanding human behavior. Taking part in this course, you will have a chance to broaden your horizon about the organization of the neural systems, spinal cord that mediate sensation, motivate your action, and integrate sensorimotor signals with memory, emotion and related faculties of cognition. Another reason for you to participate in this online course is that it is designed to teach you all of the most important concepts in neurophysiology and clinical neuroanatomy which will help anyone who intends to go to schools of medicine a good preparation in most first-year neuroscience courses. At the end of the course, you will gain a deep understanding of the impairments of sensation, action and cognition that accompany injury, disease or dysfunction in the central nervous system. So, if you are interested in this challenging subject, do not hesitate to come and join us!

What you’ll learn:

Foundational knowledge about human brains as well as the overall organization of sensory and motor systems.
Neuroanatomy, including surface and internal anatomy.
Neural signaling, including electrical excitability, signal propagation, synaptic transmission, and synaptic plasticity.
Sensory systems, including general principles and somatic sensation, as well as the visual system.
Movement and motor control.
Complex brain functions: Sleep, Emotion, and Addiction.
