Very quick and very good introduction to neuroscience
If you are interested in neuroscience but do not have too much time to dedicate to the subject I highly recommend the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s 2008 Holiday Lectures in Science.
The holiday lectures in science are usually composed of four lectures on a specific topic presented by HHMI investigators from universities in US. The lectures (at least the ones from 2008) are very well produced both in a scientific aspect as in the technical/cinematographic aspect and they condense an impressive amount of information in little less than 4 hours. I was impressed with how much I learned very little time.
You can watch the lectures in HMMI’s website :
