CEBN 0905 - When the Brain Has a Mind of its Own

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

In this course we shall explore the world of neuroscience from first hand accounts written by patients, physicians, and scientists. Beyond the ever valuable and traditional large cumbersome text books overflowing with information, there are thousands of other literary sources filled with fascinating perspectives on science and medicine. All too often the rigors of a semester narrow the scope of readings strictly to the challenging texts prescribed for each class. Seldom is room left for other sorts of scientific literary endeavors. This course will employ no text book. With each assigned reading, we will delve into the nervous system unhindered and explore neuroscience from a unique perspective: \"Outside the Text\".
