Neurobiology: Cellular and Systems - AS.080.160
Pre-College students June 23 - July 4 OnlineEstablish a foundation for an advanced study of neuroscience in research and medicine. Your curriculum will cover university-level cellular, network, and behavioral neurobiology using engaging evidence-based educational models that encourage enthusiasm and uninhibited critical thought. Additional emphasis will be placed on familiarizing you with the laboratory and research methods useful in a scientific career.
This online program is primarily delivered asynchronously, but students are expected to meet both daily and weekly deadlines for class assignments. Your instructor will also provide optional opportunities for synchronous sessions, such as office hours, group discussions, and supplemental lectures. Attendance for synchronous sessions is voluntary and based on students’ availability.
Prerequisite: There are no prerequisites, but a background in biology is helpful.
Required Text: There are no required textbooks for this program; all readings and video resources will be made available to you throughout the program.

Neuroscience and Human Behavior - AS.080.140
Pre-College students June 23 - July 4 OnlineConsider how behavioral neuroscience can help you understand these curiosities and more: a native Australian man suffers a stroke, recovers, but can only speak Chinese; altering but one neural receptor in the prairie vole will change it from a monogamous to polygamous animal; neurodegenerative disease can cause fits of uncontrollable laughter, despite nothing being funny. Learn how cells and chemicals result in complex behavior and critically examine whether or not the mind is an organic computer in this behavioral neuroscience program.
