This class will give an introduction to neuroscience for beginners by delving into the BrainFacts book and more advanced content. The syllabus has been updated from last year, so it is possible to learn new content even if you have taken the BFL neuroscience class in 2022. With that said, taking the BFL neuroscience class in 2022 is not a prerequisite as it is completely possible to do well in this course, without having taken the BFL neuroscience class 2022. This class will focus upon neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, disease, changes through aging, histology as well as neuroscience-related technologies.
