Full free neuroscience university course. Learn the basics of the human brain from MIT 9.13 The Human Brain, Spring 2019. This is The Human Brain Course, an introduction to the neuroscience by Prof. Dr. Nancy Kanwisher. This video has the first 8 hours of the course encompassing the first 8 lectures of the course.

WEEK ONE
Introduction
Kanwisher, N. “Functional specificity in the human brain: A window into the functional architecture of the mind.” PNAS 107, no. 25 (2010): 11163–70. DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1005062107

WEEK TWO
Note: Anyone who has not taken 9.00 or 9.01 or equivalent should review background on visual pathways from retina to cortex (see the syllabus page for prerequisite information). This includes retina, photoreceptor, rods and cones, fovea, retinal ganglion cells, receptive field, LGN (lateral geniculate nucleus), retinotopy (we’ll go over this in class), orientation selectivity, and ocular dominance columns.
