Course 0:

  • Guided Interaction
  • Key to human brain is not the size but the inner wiring, it’s structure and function
  • Nervous System
    • CNS (Central Nervous System) contains brain and spinal cord
    • PNS (Peripheral Nervous System) contains peripheral nervous
  • Neurons
  • Complexity of brains

Course 1:

  • Electricity
  • Galvani and bioelectricity
  • Volta and artificial electricity
  • Neuron parts
    • Cell body or Soma
      • Membrane Potential (-70 mV between inside and outside of membrane)
      • Outside part is considered Ground
      • Water, Proteins, Ions and Sugars
      • Key Ions (Na, Ca, K, Cl)
    • Axons and Dendrites
    • Lipid Bilayer (Cell Membrane)
  • Resting Potential
    • Diffusion (Movement from regions of high concentration to low concentration)
    • Electrostatic force
