Crash Course in Neuroscience
The crash course consists of 14 short lessons, or visits, lasting 7 to 17 minutes, totaling just over two hours.
In each visit, you will learn a set of key concepts to get you started on the path to neuroscience. Ideally, you should watch the videos in the order they are presented, but of course you can do whatever you want—and come back as many times as you want, since you have access for MUCH LESS than the price of a textbook.
Upon completion, you are entitled to a certificate.
Your investment is just $10! The first class is available for free. Get started now!
