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. Scientists continue to strive for a deeper understanding of how the brain’s 100 billion nerve cells are born, grow, and connect. They study how these cells organize themselves into effective, functional circuits that usually remain in working order for life.

I.3. What helped in the development of neuroscience:

             With the new technologies and the development of computer science, neuroscience tends to use more sophisticated methods when studying the brain. In the past, neuroscientists made their experiments on dead brains, where they focused on observation of its structures. Now they are able to observe a living brain and discover the different functions of different parts of the brain. 

        So thanks to the technological development, neuroscience shifted from structural brain study to functional and in-depth brain studies.  

I.4. Computational neuroscience: 

                                

             Computational neuroscience (also theoretical neuroscience) is the study of brain function in terms of the information processing properties of the structures that make up the nervous system.[1] It is an interdisciplinary science that links the diverse fields of neuroscience, cognitive science, and psychology with electrical engineering, computer science, mathematics, and physics. read more: wiki: computational neuroscience.

         Computational Neuroscience, a relatively recent discipline within the broader field of neuroscience, has emerged as a crucially important discipline for furthering our understanding of brain function and translating this knowledge into technological applications.
