Neuroscience of Everyday Life Course

About the programme
"Neuroscience for Everyday Life” is a new course in collaboration with the Palestinian Neuroscience Initiative, Al-Quds University. This course will cover the principles of neuroscience in the form of structure and function of the nervous system, in health and disease. This course uses a new approach to present neuroscience in the context of daily life activities and common diseases we hear about. Upon the completion of the course, we expect that you will be able to have the basic skills to interpret the general phenomena you encounter using the principles of neuroscience. We hope this will reflect positively on your lifestyle and encourage you to take control of the different details in your life based on knowledge and enlightenment.
This course will include four main topics:
(1) The brain and neurotransmission
(2) Sensory function
(3) Motor function
(4) Cognitive function.
We designed this course to fit the needs of those who are interested to learn about neuroscience regardless of their educational backgrounds and interests. The Arab World is plagued by a very prevalence of neurological and psychiatric disorders that is accompanied by a great deal of unclarity, confusion, and social stigma. At the conclusion of this course, we hope that you will be able to recognize key symptoms of brain disorders and link them to their neural basis and day-to-day life activities.
