What neuroscience tells us

image_print

Let’s take a look at what neuroscience tells us in the following pages:

 

The central and peripheral nervous system

Overall brain structure, neurons and glia

Growth and development of the brain

Parts of the brain

Sensory input — maps and vision

Hearing, touch and taste

Motor output

Learning and memory and the rest
