Discover how neurons work together to create complex networks inside the brain.
Explore the fascinating world of interneuronal communication in this introductory course. Through interactive content like animations and virtual labs, this course delves into how neurons transmit signals, the role of neural circuits, neuromodulation, and the complex dynamics inherent in these processes. Enhance your understanding with hands-on simulations that mimic the behavior of neuron circuits in the brain.
No prior knowledge is required, making this an ideal introductory course for anyone interested in neuroscience or related fields.
This course is designed for beginners in the field of neuroscience, educational enthusiasts, pre-med students, or anyone with a curiosity about how the brain functions at a cellular level.
Upon completion, learners can apply their understanding in academic research, participation in neuroscientific discussions, and initial explorations in neuropsychology or cognitive science roles.

An introductory course to the complex cognitive process that is decision-making, from a neuropsychological perspective. Covering basic neuroanatomy, neurodevelopment, important structures, chemicals and networks, individual differences in decision-making and decision-making deficits.
In this course, you will learn to simulate, analyze and visualize hippocampal microcircuits. You will reproduce experimental protocols “in silico” to validate simulated microcircuit behaviors, and leverage the brain simulation platform to gain insights towards parsimonious theories on brain function.
This course will cover the basic concepts in neurogenetics; introduce the fields of genomics, transcriptomics, translatomics; classical and cutting-edge experimental approaches; and how integrative simulation can be used to derive biological meaning from genetics data and build bridges from genetics all the way to behaviour.
This course is an introduction to human cognition and how it is explored. You will explore how Psychology was born as a separate discipline and how we began to study the nervous system in terms of functions, abilities and traits linking brain, mind, behavior and relationship with the environment.
With this course we will also explore the main cognitive functions, such as memory, language, attention and perception and look at how they are investigated.
