Reading lists, sources, and further study resources will be provided for each lesson. This is not a compulsory aspect of the lesson scheme, but will aid you significantly in understanding the context of the lessons. During this class, you will cover: Lesson 1: An introduction to the psychological history of madness - History of diagnosis, from early asylums to modern psychiatry - Anthropology of madness, including non-Western approaches to conceptualising psychosis - The evolution of psychology and neuroscience as empirical fields of study Lesson 2: An introduction to cellular neurobiology - Basic cellular biology (cell structure, protein synthesis, signalling) - Synapses, electrical transmission, ions, and modeling the neuron - Axons, Dendrites, and basic connectivity - Neuronal learning, including Long-Term Potentiation, Hebbian Learning - Glial Cells & Neurons Lesson 3: Neuroanatomy - Understanding the cerebral cortex - A closer look at the cellular and laminar structure of the neocortex - White matter and intercortical connectivity - Structural anatomy of the hindbrain - Understanding the role of different brain regions, including the Basal Ganglia, Prefrontal Cortex, Amygdala, and more - Understanding the main information pathways in the brain, including the mesolimbic pathway Lesson 4: Neuroscience of Psychosis - Addressing the evidence base for psychosis as a neurological condition, including structural anatomy studies, genetics, brain imaging studies, psychiatry etc - The diagnostic process, different diagnostic categories (bipolar disorders, drug-induced psychosis, schizoaffective, schizophrenia etc) Lesson 5: Monoamine models of psychosis - Glutamatergic dysfunction - Dopaminergic dysfunction, particularly in the mesolimbic pathway and prefrontal cortex - GABAergic signalling - The potential and unclear role of serotonin - Psychotomimetics and what they tell us (and don't tell us) about psychosis Lesson 6: Developmental Models of Psychosis - Critically understanding Stress-Vulnerability Model - Genetic models of psychosis - Learning models of psychosis Lesson 7: Computational Models of Psychosis - Bayesian Brain model - Entropic Brain Hypothesis - Aberrant Salience Model - Reinforcement model - Integrated Information Theory Lesson 8: Summary, Recap, & Questions

Trusted teacher: Mindfulness includes awareness as much as (self) compassion. Compassion has been the most recent scientific development in terms of mind development needs. In societies that encourage to constantly compete with each other, our sense of self-worth rises and falls according to our latest success or failure with almost no control from our side. Research have found that developing kindness and compassion for ourselves and others builds our confidence and resilience, helps create meaningful, caring relationship and promotes physical and mental health. Far from fostering emotional weakness, we now know that our brains are also hardwired to respond to kindness and compassion and we can therefore heal destructive emotional patterns. There it is, the alternative to a destructive self-esteem, a better and more effective path to happiness: self-compassion. Life and the workplace is creating even more exhaustion and isolation than ever before. The pandemic made us discovering new way of doing things, how the online working/studying/connecting can deeply help, for instance. BUT it has also contributed to anxiety, to build a sense of feeling depleted, to be disconnected and having no choice. With these classes you will be able to refresh your ability to see clearly, to manage challenging emotions, to find skillfully internal coping strategy and self-awareness overall. Whether in your work, career, school, sport or Life, you will benefit by finding and being able to refocus on yourself. By doing that you will become better connected with other ones too. Throughout the course you will learn the neuroscience of all this and how it works within ourselves and each other. The fruition of these classes has different set ups for children, teen's and adults of all ages, currently online. A taster first session is highly recommended. Custom courses for Education, Business, Health and Sport environment.
