Lecture Three: Neurolinguistics 1. What is neurolinguistics:      It is study of the neural bases of language.  read more: slideshare.neurolinguistics workshop    2. History of neurolinguistics:      The focus on language impairment is a historic one, dating from 400 b.C., with Hippocrates’ accounts on infirmities that produced lack of language. Contrastingly, the questions a bout the healthy Faculty of Language –how we come to acquire and use our mother tongue – have been systematically taken for granted through a long stretch of history, despite the fact that language is the one cognition that definitely sets us apart from other animals on this planet. In reality, language investigation has only taken a definite bio-linguistic course in the 1950’s with the advent of Noam Chomsky’s Generative Grammar (Chomsky, 1957, 1965)  Read more: neurolinguistics 3.

Lecture Two: The nervous system 1. Definition: The nervous system is a very complex system in the body. It has many parts. It is a complex network of nerves and cells that carry messages to and from the brain and spinal cord to various parts of the body. The nervous system is divided into two main systems, the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The Nervous system has three main functions: - Sensation : it receives the information from the environment and from inside of the body. - Integration : it interprets and processes the information (the impulse) it receives to determine the appropriate response. -Reaction : It makes the body responds to the information.  1.1. The Central nervous system: The central nervous system is divided into two parts: the brain and the spinal cord . The average adult human brain weighs 1.3 to 1.4 kg (approximately 3 pounds). The brain contains about 100 billion nerve cells (neurons) and trillions ...

Introduction:  I want you to know that I won't repeat all I said in the amphitheater .. but here u can find more things to readand understand. any question u welcome.  these things are not mine ..so the end of each lecture you are going to find references if you want to read much more about the topics. so LEARN and ENJOY . Lecture One: Introduction to neuroscience. I.1. what is neuroscience:                It is the scientific study of the nervous system. Neuroscience has Four functions. studying the structure, the functions, the evolutionary history, and finally the pathologies of nervous systems.           Neuroscientists specialize in the study of the brain and the nervous system. They have the daunting task of deciphering the brain’s commands of all these diverse functions. Over the years, the neuroscience field has made enormous progress. S...
