本课程首先是对神经元的研究，包括神经细胞的结构，神经冲动的传导和神经细胞间通信和药物对此过程的作用，以及神经细胞发育为大脑和脊髓的过程。然后论述了包括听觉，视觉和触觉的感觉系统，还讨论了物理能量例如光如何转化为神经信号，这些信号在大脑的传导部位以及它们如何被加工处理。其他的专题还包括随意运动的调节，脑部疾病的神经化学基础，以及控制睡眠与意识、学习与记忆的系统。

This course begins with the study of nerve cells which includes their structure, the propagation of nerve impulses and transfer of information between nerve cells, the effect of drugs on this process, and the development of nerve cells into the brain and spinal cord. Next, sensory systems such as hearing, vision and touch are covered as well as a discussion on how physical energy such as light is converted into neural signals, where these signals travel in the brain and how they are processed. Other topics include the control of voluntary movement, the neurochemical bases of brain diseases, and those systems which control sleep and consciousness, learning and memory.
