The focus of the Neuroscience: Brain Anatomy and Circuits course is on concepts and mechanisms of neural function, beginning at the earliest cellular levels and expanding towards larger-scale brain function. Various aspects of cellular and molecular function, synaptic transmission, neural dynamics, mechanisms underlying cognition, and perceptual systems, are explored, along with their interactions at various levels to produce behavior. Multiple methodologies and approaches are used to address these issues and obtain a complete picture of brain function across these levels.
