Neurons, Brains, Behaviour and Minds (G6086)
15 credits, Level 5
Autumn teaching
Neuroscience studies the structure and function of nervous systems, and how they can be related to observable behaviour.
This module will cover the fundamentals of:
- how neurons function, communicate, and are arranged
- how the nervous system is organised
- how different brain regions and functions relate to behaviour
- the methods through which modern neuroscience and cognitive science approach the problem of mapping between neural function and behaviour, and the degree to which this has been successful in cases of disorder/disease
- how brain function relates to mind.
