Included in the curriculum are general neuroscience principles, neuroethics, substance use, behavioral disorders, methods for assessing and manipulating the nervous system, and cognitive enhancement. Seminars by professionals will survey the ethical, legal, and social implications of neuroscientific research, in addition to the experiences they have had with neurotechnology in their respective fields.

Courses are offered online in the Fall, Winter and Summer semesters. For more information please visit website or contact the Michigan State University Neuroscience Program at 517-353-8947 or neurosci@msu.edu
