Your brain, considered to be the most complex living structure in the universe, performs the functions that make us human, controls every aspect of our body and shapes our thoughts, hopes, dreams, and imaginations. It creates a network of connections that exceeds social networks and stores more information than a supercomputer, enabling humans to attain awe-inspiring accomplishments. With a series of distinguished speakers, this course will explore your brain and will delve into the ways you and your brain interact with the world. Sessions include a primer on neuroanatomy and neurophysiology and will examine how your brain perceives and processes the world around you.
