This is a unique time for brain research. This course's aperitif will highlight current abrain-excitementsa around the world. The operational principles of neuronal life-warea will be explained to you. This includes synapses, neurons, and networks they create. You'll also learn how neurons act as microchips that can change and plastically alter - this is what underlies memory and learning. The Blue Brain Projecta is a recent example of a remarkable attempt to simulate large cortical networks using simulated computers. Processes related to cognition, perception and emotion in the brain will also be addressed. Dessert will be a discussion on future brain research including questions about abrain, arta, consciousness, and free will. You can find more details in the course promo and read the aAbout course.
