NEPTUN Biography

This class will teach students an interesting introduction to neuroscience! We will dive into topics like neurons, neural communication, brain structures, and fascinating new findings in the neuroscience research world! Get prepared to fall in love with our favorite 3 pound organ, the brain.

NEURONS, NEU Researchers of Neuroscience, is teaching students to think about how a complex organ like the brain can cause us to perform tasks big and small, and to learn about scientific methods used today that try to understand, manipulate, and recreate it. Likely topics: How a Computer Can Make a Brain; The Brain's Immune System; Animal Models; Neurological Diseases; The Brain and Drugs This class is recommended for those with some biology experience. Different material will be taught than this past fall's. Please note: There is only one level and one section of NEURONS this semester, and all levels of bio and psych are encouraged to register.

NEURONS, NEU Researchers of Neuroscience, is teaching students to think about how a complex organ like the brain can cause us to perform tasks big and small, and to learn about the scientific methods used today that try to understand, manipulate, and recreate it. Likely topics: How We Perceive the World; The Sleeping and Dreaming Brain; Neurological Diseases; How a Computer Can Make a Brain This class is recommended for those with some biology experience. Different material will be taught on the second date, both classes with different material than this past spring's.

NEURONS, NEU Researchers of Neuroscience, is teaching students to think about how a complex organ like the brain can cause us to perform tasks big and small, and to learn about the scientific methods used today that try to understand, manipulate, and recreate it. Likely topics: Hormones and the Brain; The Brain in Our Gut; Neurological Diseases; Brain Structure and Function Between Species; Animal Models Recommended for those with more biology experience, possibly considering studying science at a higher level. Different material will be taught on the first date, both classes with different material than this past spring's.

"NEURONS, Northeastern University Researchers of Neuroscience, will be teaching two different classes, both highlighting interactive and evidence-based learning. The purpose of these classes are to have students think about how a complex organ like the brain can cause us to perform tasks big and small, and to learn about methods used today in science that try to understand, manipulate, and recreate it. Class 1: (Recommended for those with some biology experience) Focuses on the direct applications of neuroscience and interactive learning. Class 2: (Recommended for those with more biology experience possibly considering studying science at a higher level) Focuses more on the use of evidence from primary articles and student work. Topics may include: How We Perceive the World; Today's Methods of ""Mind Control""; How a Computer Can Make a Brain; How the Brain Grows; What a Memory Looks Like; Methods of Visualizing Neurons; Animal Models; Neuroscience of Social Interactions; The Brain's Immune System, or whatever our members are excited about teaching you all!"
