À propos de cet audio
Your nervous system is you. All the thoughts, perceptions, moods, passions, and dreams that make you an active, sentient being are the work of this amazing network of cells. For many centuries, people knew this was true. But no one was sure how it happened. Now, thanks to the exciting new field of neuroscience, we can chart the workings of the brain and the rest of the nervous system in remarkable detail to explain how neurons, synapses, neurotransmitters, and other biological processes produce all the experiences of everyday life, in every stage of life.
From the spectacular growth of the brain in infancy to the act of learning a skill, falling in love, getting a joke, revising an opinion, or even forgetting a name, something very intriguing is going on behind the scenes.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

This was a Great Course!
I'm just beginning to get into this field and will be starting school for Psychology in September. I find everything mentioned in the lectures very interesting. The presentation was very well performed, however unfortunate that I was unable to follow along with the videos and pictures. Personally, I will be listening to this on my way to work and school several time over.

Not bad, but some criticisms
The parts of the lectures I appreciated:
1) when neurobiology was emphasized
2) studies were cited and explained
The parts of the lectures I found lacking:
1) when personal opinions about clinical matters were given even though the lecturer is not a clinician (and it shows in his comments)
2) the reliance on psychology to discuss the chapter headings instead of neurobiology
3) when photos and videos are referenced but not provided in the PDF (ie all the images and videos referenced in the course)
4) delving into scientific explanations for religious experiences - tacky and misses the point that there are some things that are outside of the realm of scientific exploration and reasoning

Some misinformation
Good speaker, but as other have said he should not be making clinical recommendations as he is not a clinician. His views are often not supported by most clinical research.
