About the JHU Neuroscience Wiki
Hi! I am a student at the Johns Hopkins University. I am a neuroscience major, and I have put together this site to serve as a web of knowledge of sorts. It does not contain every detail of every topic, but hopefully it can serve as a framework for your understanding. I reference Wikipedia and Khanacademy very often because they give wonderful in-detail explanations of some concepts. However, I believe that simply clicking around those sites may leave you without a big-picture understanding, and there may be a lack of connection between concepts. That's where this site comes in.

I have organized the content into categories that make sense for learning different topics (Content). They are interconnected as a wiki.

Underneath that, I have also organized it by class (JHU Neuroscience Classes). The links on those pages are developed from outlines I created for each class. Words on those outlines are linked to the wiki pages mentioned above if you want more information than what was covered in the lectures.

Content
At JHU and in general, neuroscience is divided into three categories: cellular and molecular neuroscience, systems neuroscience, and cognitive neuroscience. More information on these three categories is available if you are trying to determine which concentration to pick for the neuroscience major, but this site is divided differently (and hopefully more intuitively):

On each of the following subpages, make a link back to this page
 * Cells
 * Structure/Neuroanatomy
 * Sensory Systems
 * Motor System
 * Cognition
 * Plasticity & Disease

JHU Neuroscience Classes
maybe a link to neuro dept page with classes
