Comprehensive Notes on Neuroscience
Kaiwen Bian
To my best understanding, neuroscience is a very "hiearchical" field, studying various topics from (this is not meant tobe an exostive list but rather just a perspective that I have on the brain):
- Global perspective of how the brain sense and interact with the enviornment (sensory neuroscience), how we process these stimulus to think imagine, feel, and maintain system balance (allostasis) by interacting with the body.
- Local perspective of how these sensation & cognitive phenomenon actually occur, the neuronal & hormonal modulations happening within the brain and across the body, the potentiation & receptor adaptation that changes the physical structure of the neurons for establishing different connectivities, and the myolination & pathway selection with synaptic refinement that connects the brain together.
This articles is derived from but not limited to the ideas I learned in UCSD Cogs 17/101A/107A/107B/107C/164 & Psyc 132.

Still under construction, but hope to incorporate the following perspective:
