Bridget HalfakerI am a hobby neuro nerd and have been looking for a breakdown of the parietal lobe for awhile now. I mainly get highly technical science journal articles on specific cases or a quick "5 things your parietal lobe does" articles. This course was a great compromise of the two extremes. It broke down the parietal lobe in easy to follow ways, but also used anatomical terms and went in depth for the different subsections of the lobe. It cleared up a lot of questions I had about this area of the brain. Great work! Thank you!
