This set of eight lectures provides an overview of how the brain works, how it regulates the functioning of the body including the release of hormones, and how such hormones, in turn, regulate the functioning of the brain. The series begins by explaining the workings of a single brain cell - the neuron - and then progresses to more sophisticated communication structures including how two neurons communicate with each other, how clusters of neurons carry out complex operations, and how such operations influence organs and glands throughout the body.
Lectures:
01. The Basic Components
02. Neurochemistry - How Two Neurons Communicate
03. Plasticity in the Synapse - How Learning Works
04. The Dynamics of Interacting Neurons
05. The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)
06. Endocrinology I - Generating an Endocrine Signal
07. Endocrinology II - Hormonal Effects on the Brain
08. A Synthesis - The Biology of Who We Are
