This course explores the various ways scientists have attempted to study the brain. It explores the history of neuroscience research, and explains how neuroscientists use patient case studies, animal models, and imaging techniques to understand how the brain works. Not only will you learn about how the brain is studied, you will also hear about examples of things we’ve learned from those types of studies, such as the different types of memory, or how we learn things.

Pre-requisites: Having taken a college biology course is highly recommended. ‘Introduction to the nervous system’ is also recommended, but not required.
