This lecture covers the organization of the nervous system, including its divisions such as the central and peripheral nervous systems. It explains the classification of neurons in terms of information flow, the subdivisions of the peripheral nervous system, the general structure of a neuron, and the parts of a neuron. Additionally, it discusses synapses, axons, dendrites, neurotransmitters, functional and structural categories of neurons, neural circuits, and glial cells. The lecture also touches on the anatomy of the central nervous system, the spinal cord, the brain, gray and white matter, the cerebral cortex, cerebral lateralization, and functional areas of the cerebral cortex.
