1. Course Introduction

Chances are, you don’t spend much time thinking about your brain. Luckily, your brain does its job without much effort from you. And just like you don’t need to know how an engine works to drive a car, you could go your whole life without really knowing much about your brain. But if you’re even a tiny bit curious about what’s happening inside your skull, this course is for you! And get this – you’ll be teaching your brain about your brain. 🤯

Think of this course as an owner’s manual for your brain. As you scroll through, you will learn all about your brain, including what it’s made of, how it works, the changes it goes through as you get older and how to keep your brain happy and healthy.

Here are some of the topics you’ll learn about in this course:

• What does your brain look like?
• What does your brain do all day?
• What does your brain do all night?
• The brain-body connection
• Your brain’s development
• Caring for your brain
• Mental health

Before we get started, let’s see how much you already know about your brain!
