Damir's Brain World: Structure and Function

New findings in brain research are of outstanding importance for all professional groups who work intensively with people. But if you really want to understand how people perceive, think, feel and act, you would be well advised to first lay the foundations of this highly exciting body of knowledge. In the course package "The Brain - Structure and Function", Damir del Monte presents precisely these histological, physiological and functional-anatomical foundations of the complex edifice of neuroscience in an easy-to-understand, systematic and exciting way. Excursions into the history of brain research, clinical contexts and the presentation of the content from a functional point of view and thus the connection to psychological categories make learning a lively and exciting journey of discovery.

The course package contains the courses:
1. Neurohistology: systematization of the nervous system and the presentation of all the important building blocks of nervous tissue: the nerve cells (neurons) and the various and increasingly classified as significant glial cells.

2. Neurophysiology: The elementary basics of all functional processes (neurons, excitation processes, synapses, neurotransmitters such as glutamate and GABA and neuromodulators such as dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin) are explained here in the context of neurophysiology - an exciting and indispensable basis for a real understanding of brain processes.

3. Neuroanatomy: The structure of the brain is presented here in the sense of a function-guided description of neuronal systems. The motto: understanding principles, establishing connections and bringing the brain "to life". Anatomy couldn't be more exciting.

Course length: 6 hours and 15 minutes.

Further content will soon be added to the course.
