Cognitive Neuroscience of Remembering: Course Description
The OpenCourseWare for 'Cognitive Neuroscience of Remembering' compiles readings and online resources to guide independent exploration of neuroscience and memory. Course materials focus on the prefrontal cortex and the medial temporal lobe and their roles in creating and accessing memories. Readings focus on the process of creating memories and various ways that memory creation and access can break down. Many of the course readings are downloadable from PubMed, an online portal for biomedical research. Students can find research that has been published since the 'Cognitive Neuroscience of Remembering' OpenCourseWare resources were compiled on PubMed. Online resources are divided into sections dealing with brain imaging, cognition, neuroscience and brain anatomy. These links point students to reputable institutions and organizations that can provide further information for continuing their studies into cognitive neuroscience. The MIT course was taught as a lecture-based class in 2002 by assistant professor Anthony Wagner, whose cognitive neuroscience lab at Massachusetts Institute of Technology has since moved to Stanford University.
The OpenCourseWare includes a reading list with citations and links to PubMed abstracts. Access course resources at the memory neuroscience course page.
