About the Course
Did you know that brain surgeries can be performed on conscious patients? Yes, because brain lacks pain receptors and it cannot feel anything. More such interesting brain trivia has been packed into our course on the physiology of nervous system.
As you know, nervous system is probably one of the most complex structural components of a human being. There are a myriad structures and connections in it and this very complexity forms ground for the intelligence, cognitive abilities and an overall success of humans as a species.
In this course on the physiology of nervous system, the functional mechanisms underlying the sensory and motor systems, reticular formation and higher neural structures are all explained in detail using 3D animations that provide a deep understanding of the complex structural relationships, which underlie the functional immensity of nervous system.

Course Delivery Format
This course is delivered entirely online. It consists of a series of comprehensive lectures by a professor in the subject, appropriately annotated with slides, animations and wherever necessary, interactive content. The delivery offers tremendous flexibility. You may pause a teacher while you refer to your textbooks (not includes) and to take notes. You may also rewind a segment to listen to the teacher again or you may skip a slide or two if you already know that bit. You may bookmark a segment that you wish to return to later, maybe to refresh just before your exams. While the lessons in this course may be arranged in a particular order based on our curriculum, you have the flexibility to take them in order of your preference based on your personalized learning needs.
Benefits
While this course is to help you learn the subject from an online faculty, it may help you in several ways even if you are already enrolled in some medical, dental or paramedical school. Many of our students felt that the format in which this course is delivered has helped them to cope up against the fast paced lectures in actual class – it’s like having a TV remote in class to self-pace your teacher. Animations help understand concepts better by making concepts easy to understand… and difficult to forget.
