Neuroplasticity

About this course

This course focuses primarily on neuroplasticity from a neurobiological perspective. By the end of the course you gain an understanding of the neural development of the human brain over time, with a special focus on the adult brain and neuroplasticity with respect to learning, aging, and brain repair following disease or acquired brain injury.

Pre-requisites

One year of biology and one course in either neuroscience, physiological psychology, or biological psychology at university level.
