From the molecular to the philosophical – explore how the brain develops, functions, and learns.
Neuroscience is an exciting and rapidly growing interdisciplinary field encompassing the study of the nervous system and its role in regulating behavior. Students will examine the structure of the brain through hands-on dissection, and learn how drugs affect the brain and how sensory systems detect stimuli in the environment.
Topics Covered:
Neuroanatomy
Neurobiology
Behavioral Neuroscience
Neuropharmacology
Electrophysiology
Hands-On Experiences:
Explore neuroanatomy through the dissection of a sheep brain
Observe electrophysiological experiments
Research and present neuroscience poster project
Visit neuroscience labs, fMRI, and MEG
Field trip to the Nonhuman Primates & Large Animal Research Center
