Neuroscience Diploma

Neuroscience is a sub-field of biology that specialises in the study of the nervous system structure, evolution and function. Neural science is constantly developing, but it can be divided into the branches of cognitive, clinical, computational and developmental neuroscience. Being an interdisciplinary science, it is closely related to other disciplines such as medicine, chemistry, physics, linguistics, computer science, engineering, and philosophy.

Neuroscientists focus on studying the cellular and operational levels of the nervous system, and on how these affect behavioural patterns. They also conduct laboratory experiments and theoretical research using specialised tools, techniques and computer simulations.

With this Neuroscience Diploma course, students will be equipped to investigate the nervous system with its microscopic structure and biologic processes, leading to the design of artificial intelligence systems. Specialisations in neuroscience include: affective neuroscience, cognitive and behavioural neuroscience, molecular neuroscience, neuroimaging, neurophysiology, neuro-linguistics, social neuroscience, etc.

Area of work is in the pharmaceutical industry, health agencies, companies that deal with information and communication science, and management structures in public health. Traditional neuroscience careers include neurologist, neuroanatomist, neurological surgeon, neuro-pharmacologist, psychiatrist or electro-neuro-diagnostic technician.

Neuroscience Diploma explores the functional organization and neurophysiology of the human central nervous system while providing a neurobiological framework for understanding human behavior. In this Neuroscience Diploma course, you will discover the organization of the neural systems in the brain and spinal cord that mediate sensation, motivate bodily action, and integrate sensorimotor signals with memory, emotion and related faculties of cognition. The overall goal of this Neuroscience Diploma course is to provide the foundation for understanding the impairments of sensation, action and cognition that accompany injury, disease or dysfunction in the central nervous system.

In this Neuroscience Diploma course, you'll learn how individual neurons use electricity to transmit information. This Neuroscience Diploma course is an introduction to the organization and function of the nervous system. Topics to be covered include cell biology of neurons neurotransmitters electrical signalling sensory and motor systems developmental neurobiology simple circuits learning and behavior.
