Description du poste

Education Unlimited® provides academic summer camps & pre-college summer programs for students entering grades 4-12. Our summer programs include public speaking camps, college admissions prep programs, science camps, summer acting camp, writing camps, computer camp, leadership camp, video production camp, and college tours.

Course Description:

In Neuroanatomy, students will learn the basic cell biology of a neuron and how neurons work together. Students will then apply that understanding to the anatomy and physiology of various systems in the brain in the context of fictitious neurological patients.Specifically, we will focus on the cerebral cortex, various subcortical structures, and the visual system.

This course is interactive, uses videos and images and, most importantly, includes hands-on activities such as building model systems using Play-doh or Model Magic, dissecting a sheep brain, and engaging in lab activities and demos in order to explore neuroanatomy from a variety of viewpoints.

The culminating event will be case-studies presentations where students adopt the roles of neurologists, psychiatrists, and/or neuro-radiologists to give a Grand Rounds-style presentation to the class focused on a particular patient.
