By regulating communication, sensory input, and control, the nervous system plays a pivotal role in how we take in information, both voluntarily and involuntarily. Human Neuroanatomy provides an introduction to the central and peripheral nervous systems. Topics include the gross anatomy of the nervous system, the spinal cord, spinal nerves and reflexes, the brainstem and cranial nerves, the autonomic nervous system, the cerebral cortex, the diencephalon, the limbic system, and the sensory and motor systems. This is the third course in the Anatomy course series, an introduction to the major functions of the human body, from the musculoskeletal and nervous systems, to the function of the heart, lungs, and hormonal pathways.
I learned a lot and I think that I gained long term knowledge! The professor Kelli Sullivan is an amazing teacher and all her lectures are very interesting! Thank you!
The material in this course was well put together. The different groupings and categories made it much easier to remember the information.
Dr. Kelli Sullivan was a wonderful instructor and did a great job at breaking down very complex neuroanatomy concepts and terminology!
Thank you so much. This is one of the difficult courses in Anatony. I am grateful for enhancing my grasp of knowledge on this field.
This was an incredibly captivating and comprehensive compilation that succeeded in diversifying and solidifying a lot of my concepts! Thank you SO much to the entire team!!
I absolutely enjoyed learning Human Anatomy and recommend it. I plan on working as a medical coder next year, and these courses will help me reach my goal!
This is awesome platform for Human Neuroanatomy lovers. The points and mnemonics are fantabulous. As I have much more grip on Neuro( as I'm a Physical therapy student).
The lecturer is great- really engaging and try’s to make every thing understandable and simplified where possible.
Very helpful learning the basics. Used this course to compliment a more detailed course in my grad program (DPT)
The lectures were quite interesting. Demos and neurological examinations were helpful to understand the concepts and applications. The coursework was properly planned and executed.
This is a really good course to learn human neuroanatomy. And also instructors explained the relevant part so good.
Perfect course for beginners. Videos are simple, short and easy to understand. Totally recommend this course for anyone beginning their journey in Human Neuroanatomy.

Information was easy to digest and the explanations were easy to understand. A very good course.

Thank you SO much to the entire team!!
Mrs. Sullivan has a really good teaching plan! By reviewing key points in previous lessons, she really enables me to keep up with new knowledge. Also, the design of syllabus is nice, helping me gain insight into different structures and functions of brain.
This Human Neuroanatomy course is a great start for anyone in their study of neuroscience and related fields. The course has a good amount of labelling quizzes which are, in fact, necessary while taking any kind of anatomy course. The use of cadaveric images is a major plus as it helps understand what actually goes on in the brain. I wish there were more quizzes, especially in the last week, because constantly testing oneself about what one has just learned is the best way to be able to memorise it.
I am a fifth year medical student and this is my 22nd course that I have taken, I can say with certainty that this is by far the best course I had the privilege of taking, Dr.Kelli Sullivan not only proves that she has a deep understanding of neuroanatomy, but helps you understand it as well with her unique intake on parts and her much appreciated light humor!
This course is literally helpful to understand different parts of brain and their functions.
Excellent MOOC! Extremely interesting, well structured course with good slides and good build-up of knowledge as the course progressed. I found the lecturer very engaging, especially for an online course, and enjoyed her interest in the material and humour(!). The clarity of what was being taught and why, and salience of the exams to firming up what was important to know, was really good: in other (online and offline) courses, I sometimes feel this focus is missing - but in this MOOC, all the salient info was provided and clearly outlined. It was great.
Very well explained, especially for a topic that is usually very complicated to understand. The instructor did a great job of making things clear and concise. Excellent review course.
So well explained. An excellent intro a very complicated space. Connects with your spiritual side. How well constructed our human brain and nervous system is. Almost divine
Poorly advertised as being apart of a specialization series. Will charge $50 each month for topics you did not sign up for. Only wanted to take Human Neuroanatomy but cannot get the certification unless subscribed to the whole series.
I am a Mechanical Engineer with an MBA, having work experience in Information Technology. I am also a certified Yoga & Meditation Teacher. I am no way related to the medical field. In Coursera, I just found this course and enrolled that this might help to teach my yoga class with a more meaningful way of using the appropriate terms of anatomy. The course content and the instructor teaching method, interests me to complete the course and learn a new subject in my life. I am also looking to take courses on the skeletal, muscular, and endocrine systems - Sen
I love this course. I love how Kelly delivers the lecture. She's brilliant and makes fun of the lesson sometimes which makes it easier to learn. The video are short which is helpful for keeping focus. However, I wish the name of video can be clearer to explain what're in the content of the video.
After all, this is still an great course. For me to learn Anatomy as a nurse, it's the right amount of contents and time to invest. Thank you!
I am a biology major and I have subject on anatomy and what great about this is its understandable, brief, concise lesson easy to learn. A lot of new topics are introduce and I have a hard time learning them but I am up for the challenge. Thank you for all the people behind this Lesson.
I learned a lot and I think that I gained long term knowledge! The professor Kelli Sullivan is an amazing teacher and all her lectures are very interesting! Thank you!
Great class with easy to follow and digestible material. For beginners and/or people looking for a refresher.
Very well taught! An enjoyable and educational experience! Many thanks to everyone involved!
Great introductory course, covers a lot of subjects. I really liked the way the teacher explained everything, the little jokes she made helped me remember the content better. I'm taking another neuroscience course and this one helped me understand a LOT of things that were overlooked in the other course (because the other one assumes you already know this) and also to consolidate the knowledge I already had. Also this course has tests at the end of each subsection within the week and I think that is a great tool, helped me a lot to assess how much I truly understood from the videos. Strongly recommend.
Absolutely stunning, enjoyed every minute!
Professor K. Sullivan is absolutely magnificent - difficult concepts are explained perfectly, oftentimes with a nice humor. I liked that most things are drawn and/or showed on the picture just at the same time that they are explained. The pace was perfect, at least for me. Even if one is not specializing in anatomy, it is a nice course to broaden one's general knowledge and learn something about the functioning of human body.
Thank you professor K. Sullivan, I loved this course!
The teacher was very clear in her explanations. She talked in a pace that was possible for me to understand. The lessons plans were well laid out.
I suggest that the teacher uses more of real brain samples and point out regions of brains in the actual brain instead of relying more on cartoons.
Excellent course! The professor seems like a really nice person too, someone who is absolutely in love with what she teaches. I feel confident that this knowledge will help me in the future when I apply for Research internships related to Neuroscience. I'm happy I took this course.
