In-person Course. Introduction to neuroscience, divided into 3 course modules: 1) Cellular neurophysiology, addressing the excitable properties of neurons and the function of synapses, 2) Systems neurobiology, examining neural circuits as they relate to the functional properties of the nervous system, with each system that is addressed examined in detail, and 3) Neural development and plasticity, examining the cellular and molecular mechanisms governing neural development, plasticity, and the establishment of memory. Prerequisite: Intro level Biology (Bio 1010-1040 or BIOL 1050 and BIOL 1060). One semester of college-level Chemistry strongly recommended. Interested high school students must show score of 4 or 5 on AP Biology or a 6 or 7 on IB Biology. 1 Credit. Session A: May 25 – June 26. Tuition: $5480.
