Brain Courses

Brain courses can help you learn how neural systems process information, support behavior, and interact with the body. You can build skills in understanding brain structure, basic neuroscience concepts, cognitive functions, and research methods used to study neural activity. Many courses introduce tools such as imaging overviews, data interpretation frameworks, and scientific models that support learning about how the brain works.
