Neuroscience and Behavior
MIT OpenCourseWare's introduction to how brain structure produces behavior, covering functional neuroanatomy and neurophysiology from the neuron up to whole systems. Lectures move through sensory and motor systems, centrally programmed behavior, sleep and dreaming, motivation and reward, and the emotional displays that accompany them, before turning to the neocortex and the neural basis of learning and memory. The course sits within MIT's Brain and Cognitive Sciences curriculum and includes the standard OCW materials: lecture notes, readings, and assignments drawn from an actual MIT undergraduate subject. Access to the site and materials is free under a Creative Commons license, with no certificate offered. It suits anyone wanting a structural, systems-level grounding in neuroscience rather than a purely conceptual overview.
