About the course

In this course, we focus on the structure and function of the nervous system and individual nerve cells, as well as how biological processes, such as genetics, hormones, biological rhythms, and brain function, affect our behaviour.

The course also provides an understanding of the development of the nervous system from an evolutionary perspective and introduces different research methods in the field.

The course is taught in English and is designed for professionals or students who wish to learn more about how human biological processes influence our behaviour.
