The lectures provide and introductory and advanced lectures on the functional neuroanatomy of the brain and mind. All lectures were video-taped while Dr. Joseph was delivery these lectures to an advanced class of students studying the brain.

The lecturer, Dr. R. Joseph, is an internationally acclaimed neuroscientist who has published major scientific discoveries in neuroscience.

Dr. Joseph obtained his Ph.D. from UHS/The Chicago Medical School, completed his Internship at the VAMC/Yale Medical Center, and began his career in the 1970s at which time he published major discoveries in neurobiology including neuroplasticity in the primate brain, early environmental influence on perception, learning, intelligence, cell death and recovery of function, competition between primate nerve cells; hormonal basis of sex differences).

Dr. Joseph was the first to discover and publish evidence that primate brain cells continue to grow, compete with one another for synaptic and functional representation, atrophy when deprived of sensory input and recover when competing cells are denied sensory input, and that the primate brain is functionally plastic (neuroplasticity) and that the brain is constantly rewiring itself and neural networks and cellular circuits are constantly being formed and reorganized (Joseph & Casagrande 1978, 1980; Casagrande & Joseph, 1978, 1980). Thus, Dr. Joseph was the first to demonstrate neuroplasticity, recovery of function, neural competition, and natural selection in the primate brain, and based on his discoveries developed and published a complex theory on neural networking and competition (Joseph 1982) which was later popularized by another scientist who called it Neural Darwinism. Also, in the 1970s, Dr. Joseph published evidence that intelligence, learning, and memory could be enhanced and that physiological, perceptual, visual, behavioral, and cognitive functioning could be altered or enhanced by varying the environment, and further demonstrated that sex differences in physiology, learning, memory, cognition, and behavior, could be altered and reversed by manipulating exposure to testosterone and estrogen (Joseph et al., 1978; Joseph 1979; Joseph & Gallagher, 1980). Subsequently, Dr. Joseph continued to make and publish major discoveries, published best selling scholarly texts which received the highest praise by a variety of scientific journals, and advanced and published major theories in the biological and evolutionary sciences which were immediately adopted by other scientists.

Dr. Joseph is the author of best selling neuroscience text books which have received rave reviews published by scientific journals, and has recently published a chapter on reproductive biology in space in a book edited by a NASA Senior Scientist, Science Directorate, and chapters on quantum physics and neurobiology in a book edited by Sir Roger Penrose. Dr. Joseph has also been invited to speak at U.C. Berkeley, University of Geneva, etc., my works reprinted by Harvard, etc.
