SSC-5091: Neurobiology and Learning

How does learning actually occur in humans? The growing knowledge from the neuro- and cognitive sciences provides a rich and universal framework to better understand the needs of our children, teens and adult learners, including cognitive development as well as emotional and motivational systems of the brain. This course provides a foundation in the basic functions (anatomy, physiology and pharmacology) of human neurology as they relate to human development and the neurobiology of learning. The goal is for learners to understand the principles of learning as they apply to all children, youth and adult learners. The final project of the course will focus on learners’ personal research interests about learning and the brain.
