Description
This course is devided into two parts.
The first part explores the brain from the inside: the shields that protect the brain, its connection to the Peripheral Nervous System, the Neurons and how they communicate with each other, the four Lobes, some important areas like the Amygdala and the Hippocampi. You will learn some basic stuff, but also details about how things work and hence we do what we do and are who we are. This part is mostly about the structures of the brain.
In the second part we will move from the structures to the functions and see their two way relationship. Here, you will learn about Neuroplasticity and how it can be achieved, the necessity of the right nutrients and physical exercise, change and cognitive flexibility, how habits are formed and how we can break them, about ways to rewire your brain. Also, there are lectures about the importance of learning and the components of learning, in order to be able to organize more efficiently the learning process.
Research is essential for a number of reasons. Without it there would be no findings and an in dept analysis of things. It facilitates learning, expands knowledge, helps you undestand things better and provides knowledge that has been tested and is applicable. Therefore, the majority of the lectures is based on research and there are many references.
Who this course is for:
Anyone who is interested in Neuroscience and the brain
Anyone who wants to know how things work
Anyone who would like to use this knowledge and make changes

Hello. My name is Maria. I have degrees in classical studies and in Psychology and currently working on my MSc. I love Psychology, Neuroscience, learning and i do believe that it is an on-going process. As the ancient greek philosopher, Socrates, used to say: "I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only make them think". I have uploaded two courses till now on Udemy. The first one is an introduction to Critical Thinking, whereas the second is about Neuroscience. The first is not a very well built course, with issues, many of which are resolved in the second. I intend to upload more courses in the future, one of which will be about Critical Thinking, but more content-enriched and well structured. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me.I do hope that i will help you and guide you towards achieving your goals and you to learn what you wish as efficiently as possible. "Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all." - Aristotle
