Fundamentals of Neuroscience

Have you ever wondered what’s going on inside your head? Throughout the three weeks of SLAI, students in the Neuroscience Program will receive an experiential overview of the field of neuroscience. The core of this program is an in-depth “Introduction to Neuroscience” course, where students will dive into the anatomy, physiology, and chemistry of the brain. Students will engage in team-based learning and explore research approaches under the guidance of Carleton faculty. The program culminates with a symposium where students share the results of their work with each other and the broader community. Please note: This course will involve interaction with live animals and the dissection of animal parts. The Neuroscience program welcomes eligible applicants of all scientific experience levels. Whether or not you have prior exposure to topics covered here, there will be something for you in this program!
