The Brain Function, Damage and Recovery (Short Course)

What to expect:

Discover what makes your brain tick in this short course on Neuroscience – from understanding how the human brain functions, how it recovers from damage, to its anatomy and biology.

The human brain is an amazing piece of architecture. Weighing in at an average of just 3 pounds, or 1.3kg, our brains have evolved to be the most complex organs on the planet, and they are more organized than the entire cosmos. It is estimated that they contain 100 billion neurons and there are some 100 trillion connections between them. It is perhaps not surprising that studying the brain has been the life’s work of so many eminent scientists. Some would argue that given their intricacy, our brains are not even capable of understanding themselves.

How does it work?

Our 20 hour courses are self paced and will help you understand a topic in a short amount of time. You can work through the course when you like- test yourself with mini-tests along the way. There are extra case studies or research you can undertake if you would really like to get into the topic. Once you have completed the lessons and self assessment tasks, there is a final exam undertaken online. You can then download your personalized certificate.

Note: these short courses are self-guided online courses and are not to be confused with our tutor-supported online courses.
