With the help of continued technological advancement, we are slowly unravelling its workings though the field of Neuroscience. During this course, you will come to understand the structure and the potential of our brains; first focusing on the neurons which constitute the building blocks of this complex machine before moving on to the more complex functions which dictate how we learn and live on a day to day basis.
Match your passion to your academic pursuit. Find a course that makes you never want to stop learning.
Through taught sessions and weekly 1:1 or 2:1 tutorials (16+) with experienced academic tutors, we’ll explore the nervous system, behavioural traits, circuits and systems, sensory functions, cognition and development from a logical and emotional perspective.
Explore past neurological research and findings and develop new pathways to excel in the field tomorrow, with your finger firmly on the pulse of new discoveries and advances. A future career in Neuroscience could include Clinical Science, Biotechnology, Research, Neuropsychology and Psychiatry. At the end of you course, you’ll receive a certificate and letter of recommendation from your tutor.
Dr. Luca Passamonti is a Senior Clinical Research Fellow and NHS Honorary Consultant Neurologist at the University of Cambridge and Cambridge University Hospitals. He works in the field of Experimental Neurology, Cognitive Neuroscience, and Neuroimaging at the Department of Clinical Neuroscience and has written numerous research articles in high-impact factor journals on these topics. Dr. Passamonti studies the brain mechanisms underlying variability in emotional behaviours, and their role in neuropsychiatric disorders. For example, he considers the neural underpinnings of individual differences in personality traits as neuroticism, impulsivity, and aggression. Improving our knowledge of the neurological roots of personality is not only of interest theoretically but also has the potential to lead to new and brain-based approaches to manage complex neuropsychiatric disorders.
