Introduction to Neuroscience
This course is designed for students without neuroscience background. Introduction
to Neuroscience cover foundation knowledge from basic structure to sensory, motor
and higher cognitive functions. Latest approaches and techniques in exploring the
mystery of different aspects of neuroscience will be introduced in the class to help
students understanding the newly researches of neuroscience. Students are expected
to gain a broad perspective of how the neural information transmits and how the
groups of cells in the brain generate behavior in response to the environmental
stimuli.
