Neurophysiology Course

What will I learn?

Get a good understanding of how the nervous system works with our Neurophysiology Course. It's made for doctors and nurses who work with nervous system problems and want to learn more. You'll study how brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) work, how tiny sacs that hold these chemicals (synaptic vesicles) move around, and how medicines affect brain cells (receptor pharmacology). You'll also learn about the different types of connections between brain cells (excitatory and inhibitory synapses) and how problems with these connections can cause sickness. You'll get practical knowledge of the newest ways to study the nervous system. Improve your skills with clear and useful information made just for you.
