Neuroscience Course-international
Exposure Program, Southern

USA 2017
“Every new experience, every piece of information that one learns, every skill that one masters,
causes changes in the brain that alters one's future behaviour.”
The course served as a basic understanding of the eld of Neuroscience. The students were
introduced to the relationship between the nervous system and the behaviour, brain functions, the
scientic process, which included the comprehension of the scientic method and fundamentals
of experimental design. The students also learned how to critically evaluate current research in
Neuroscience.
The classes took place from 9.30 am to 11.30 am daily taught by our Professor, Dr Hylin. He
taught Neuroscience through presentations which consisted of a lot of diagrams and short notes.
Dr Hylin never failed to mention that he loved having us as his students and enjoyed answering our
questions. The weekly 100 marks tests were quite challenging, and demanded an intensive
reading. The tests weren't easy as the questions were twisted for our understanding.
