Neural & Brain Science via distance learning
The juncture of biology and psychology, of brain and behavior... This program comprehensively covers --from the molecular level to the human conscious experience-- the relationship between the structural and physiological mechanisms of the brain/nervous system and the psychological reality of the mind. The program investigates molecular and cellular plasticity, neural and psychological development, sensory systems, motor systems, attention, memory, language, thought and imagery, emotion, evolutionary perspectives, and consciousness.

Consciousness Studies
This course of consciousness studies builds a bridge between science and religion in order to assess that there is much more to human life than can be seen at the level of neurons. Consciousness may be defined as the perception of something of internal or external existence. This course reviews different perspectives of the nature of consciousness and why consciousness is not a simple problem to deal with.
Academic Supervisor: Radwani Houda
Biological Psychology
This course offers a comprehensive survey of the biological bases of behavior. It describes the development of the nervous system, the biological mechanisms of perception and action, and the biochemical regulation of behavior, emotions, and mental disorders.
Academic Supervisor: Fernando Miralles
Cellular Neurobiology
This course discusses the physical principles underlying the cellular processes of neurobiology. It covers topics such as the principles of brain organization, the structure of neurons, neurophysiology and biophysics of cells, synaptic transmission, neurotransmitter systems and neurochemistry, neuropharmacology, neuroendocrine relations, and molecular biology of neurons.
Academic Supervisor: Radwani Houda
Natural Intelligent Systems
This course explains that all natural intelligent systems are biological in nature and their work is not always understood in purely computational terms. A biological system must be understood in terms of its environment, ecological niche, and evolutionary history.
Academic Supervisor: Jean Mutabaruka
Human Consciousness
This course examines the human consciousness. The brain appears to be a complicated organ that register and channel consciousness rather than produce it. Consciousness, the subjective experience of an inner self; could be a phenomenon forever beyond the reach of neuroscience. Even a detailed knowledge of the brain's workings and the neural correlation of consciousness may fail to explain how or why human beings have self-aware minds.
Academic Supervisor: Román Gonzalvo Pérez
Developmental Neurobiology
This course covers the development of the nervous system from the molecular up to the system level, including the development and plasticity of the brain, aging and diseases of the nervous system, the organization of sensory and motor systems, the structure and function of cerebral cortex, synaptic remodeling and the modeling of neural systems, and the mechanisms involved in behavior control and higher mental processes.
Academic Supervisor: Radwani Houda
Neural & Brain Science
The juncture of biology and psychology, of brain and behavior... This course provides a comprehensive coverage, from the molecular level right up to human conscious experience, of the relationship between the structural and the physiological mechanisms of the brain and of the nervous system with the psychological reality of the mind.
Academic Supervisor: Radwani Houda
Systems Neuroscience
This course discusses system neurobiology. It illustrates neurobiology using invertebrate and vertebrate systems as well as artificial neural networks. It examines the structure, function, and plasticity of neural maps; visual processing in the retina and cerebral cortex; sensorimotor integration; central pattern generators; neuromodulation; synaptic plasticity; and theoretical models of associative memory, information theory, and neural coding.
Academic Supervisor: Radwani Houda
Cognitive Development
This course focuses on the theories and models of learning as applied to the fields of education, cognitive psychology, and artificial intelligence. It reviews different theoretical orientations to learning and memory, metacognition, analogy, language acquisition, reading, writing, mathematics, concept learning, skill acquisition, and self regulated learning.
Academic Supervisor: Philomena Wavinya Ndambuki
Neurobiochemistry
This course exposes the current questions and experimental approaches in cellular neuroscience and neurochemistry. It is organized into three areas: the cell and biochemical structure and organization of the nervous system; the biochemical mechanisms underlying neural signaling and plasticity; and the control of cell form and its chemical developmental determinants.
Academic Supervisor: Radwani Houda
Cognitive Psychology
This course deals with the study of human cognition: the methods, findings, and controversies of cognitive neuroscience and psychology. It adopts a comparative and developmental perspective throughout using data from animals and young children to theories of human cognition and brain evolution. It includes perception, attention, memory, knowledge representation, language, problem solving, and reasoning.
Academic Supervisor: Frances Chelos Lopez
Cognitive Neuroscience
This course examines the neurological basis of cognition. It studies brain-injured patients, neurophysiological research in animals, normal cognitive processes in humans, and non-invasive behavioral and physiological techniques. It examines perception and object recognition, attention, language, motor control and executive functions, and the neural systems involved in learning and remembering different types of information.
