ONLINE SELF-STUDY ADVANCED DIPLOMA COURSE IN NEUROSCIENCE
Course Title : 96 Hour Advanced Diploma Course in Neuroscience
Course Description :
Welcome to this unique Advanced Diploma Course in Neuroscience, a comprehensive, advanced level and engaging self-study course designed to provide you with the latest theoretical and scientific knowledge in Neuroscience. Throughout this course, we will explore various branches and aspects of Neuroscience and delve into its fundamental concepts, advanced techniques, and real-world applications using case studies.
At its most basic, neuroscience is the study of the nervous system – from structure to function, development to degeneration, in health and in disease. It covers the whole nervous system, with a primary focus on the brain. Incredibly complex, our brains define who we are and what we do. They store our memories and allow us to learn from them. Our brain cells and their circuits create new thoughts, ideas and movements and reinforce old ones. Their individual connections (synapses) are responsible for a baby’s first steps and every record-breaking athletic performance, with each thought and movement requiring exquisitely precise timing and connections.
Human brains have approximately 86 billion neurons; neuroscientists investigate how these connect with each other and with other parts of the nervous system and the rest of the body.
The relationship between neuroscience and mental health is complex and intertwined. In this course we will explore the relationship and intersection between behavioral neuroscience and mental health and how they influence each other.
Our primary objective in this fast-track self-study Neuroscience Advanced Diploma level course is to equip you with a solid foundation and a comprehensive understanding of Neuroscience. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced professional looking to expand your expertise in this specialized field of brain science, this course will cater to your needs and help you achieve your learning goals.
During our journey together, you will have the opportunity to:
