Dive into the fascinating world of the nervous system
New subject Concepts and Discoveries in Neuroscience (Department of Anatomy and Physiology) coming soon in Semester 2.

In this new subject, you'll explore the structure and function of the brain, spinal cord and nerves, how they work together to interpret and respond to the world around us.
From the anatomy of the human brain to the inner workings of nerve cells, you’ll gain a clear understanding of how nerve cells communicate, how their activity can change over time, and how this influences everything from movement to maintaining balance within the body.
Perfect for anyone curious about how the brain works, this subject lays the groundwork for further study in neuroscience and related fields.
