MIC3017: Neuroscience (Elective: 3 credits)

Learning Outcomes
1. Explain the function of cells, networks and areas within nervous system
2. Relate the knowledge about neuronal mechanisms to brain function and
neurological diseases
3. Present information about neuroscience accurately, effectively and creatively to a
wide range of audience

Course Synopsis
This course offers the students the chance to learn about neuroscience from many
