Original Description

Discover how the human brain shapes the way we think, feel, learn, remember, and behave in this comprehensive introduction to Behavioural Neuroscience. This course explores the biological foundations of psychology by examining the structure and function of the nervous system, neural communication, sensory processing, learning and memory, emotion, sleep, stress, and human behaviour. Through engaging lessons, you'll learn how neurons communicate, how different brain regions influence cognition and behaviour, and how biological processes affect perception, motivation, movement, and decision-making.
