Yes, it is Coursera. Just fund they have a course called Soul Beliefs: Causes and Consequences (it is to reopen, not sure when).

The is also edX https://www.edx.org/ - that has Harvard, MIT; Berkeley and The University of Texas. I've enrolled for a humanities course with them but the site and way of teaching is far more complicated than Coursera one.

Will keep the edX course just on watch. For now, at least...

After I finish my genetics course I thought this looked interesting as he describes a MLC in the first hour.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNnIGh9g6fA

Introduction to Human Behavioral Biology
StanfordUniversity

Warning it is at least 25 hours of you tube watching.

Anybody want to join me?

I've enrolled but not sure if I will really do it. All this courses are similar to the Genetics one I took last year (University Of Maryland). Also Introduction to Human Behavioral Biology will be taught by Matt McGue and not Robert Sapolsky, the professor from the Youtube lectures. Kikki had talked about Robert Sapolsky a lot.

The course I'm really looking for and that I have enrolled long ago but still has not date to begin is Basic Behavioral Neurology, University of Pennsylvania.

For the record, I do not believe there is a gene responsible for MLC. There is never a single gene responsible for one condition and genes alone are often not enough.

And I do believe in free will. For me, the lack of free will that is talked about in neuroscience and biology relates to mechanics (the lapse of time that takes between our brain chooses to do an action and the actual action, like stretching our arm), not moral choices.

That is so true Anjae - I am a huge Robert Sapolsky fan. 

Frustratingly - nowhere that I have found does he explain what he believes the MLC to be - just that it's a very immature and out of character, out of control response. 

Great that he mentions it - but what does he think it is remains a mystery.

Well since my son goes to Stanford maybe I can find out more.
He is asking his roomate about him since he is a Biology grad student.

Have you watched this whole series of videos?

That would be wonderful. Also to know why Robert Sapolsky thinks MLC is an out of control response.
