Explorations in Neuroscience
This 2-week course will introduce the students to the basic tenets of neuroscience. Starting with a historical view of basic cellular science and ending with cutting-edge tools in brain research and treatment, the students will attend a combination of lectures and take part in virtual laboratory exercises that include behavioral analyses of behavioral experiments, brain mapping in silico, and neuron simulations. The course will encourage active learning and heavily rely on online group discussions and remote laboratory exercises.
