Designed to showcase an exciting discipline, this new three-week course provides a brief overview of the major methods and findings in the emergent field of Neuroscience.
Topics will include:
· Cellular anatomy and function
· Drug effects and pharmacology
· Neuroanatomy
· Animal behavior
· Biological correlates of cognition
· Philosophical implications of neuroscience research
Students attend presentations and laboratory demonstrations by over 10 top scientists and teachers from 3 of UNE’s colleges including: The College of Arts and Sciences, The College of Osteopathic Medicine, and the College of Pharmacy. We also visit regional neuroscience-related facilities, schedule permitting.
Each day will focus on a new topic. This includes lectures, laboratory demonstrations, tours and guest lectures. In addition, working closely with the course director on scientific literacy and writing, the experience culminates in students applying their new knowledge to identify a research question and designing a research proposal to find the answer.
