Introduction to Neuroanatomy
MIT OpenCourseWare offers this intensive introduction to the structure of the brain, built around lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on laboratory sessions that include an actual brain dissection. No prior neuroanatomy background is assumed, though familiarity with general brain structures helps going in. Materials include lecture notes, lab assignments, and dissection guides covering the organization of the central nervous system, major brain regions, and their functional relationships. The course is designed for students in brain and cognitive sciences who need a working map of neural anatomy before moving into more specialized coursework. As with all MIT OpenCourseWare offerings, the materials are free to access under a Creative Commons license, with no certificate or instructor interaction attached, just the same lecture and lab content used in MIT's own classroom.
