course description

The Neuroscience Research course explores the biological foundations of the brain, progressing from the cellular foundations of the neuron to an understanding of the sensory systems, and culminating with higher-order cognitive functions such as memory, emotion, and morality. Taught by members of Penn’s Biological Basis of Behavior program, the Neuroscience course introduces students to this cutting-edge field in both research and medicine, which has provided important insights into understanding the mind in both health and disease.

During this course, students will attend twice-daily lectures and conversations with Penn’s distinguished neuroscience faculty. Additionally, they will participate in a journal club to discuss peer-reviewed neuroscience literature and develop presentations on those papers, and take part in a neuro-ethics club to debate current ethical dilemmas within the neuroscience field. Students will also have a chance to participate in hands-on laboratory activities to gain an introduction to experimental techniques.

课程介绍

神经科学研究课程探索大脑的生物学基础，从神经元的细胞基础到对感觉系统的理解，并最终达到高阶认知功能，如记忆、情感和道德。神经科学课程由宾夕法尼亚大学行为生物学基础课程的教师教授，该课程向学生介绍了研究和医学的前沿领域，为学生理解健康和疾病中的心理提供了重要的见解。

在这门课程中，学生将每天参加两次讲座能够与宾夕法尼亚大学杰出的神经科学教授进行对话。此外，他们还将参加一个期刊俱乐部，讨论同行评议的神经科学文献，并对这些论文进行展示，并参加一个神经伦理学俱乐部，讨论神经科学领域当前的伦理困境。学生还将有机会参与实际实验室活动，以更好地了解实验技术。
