ABOUT THIS KIND OF RESEARCH

A major part of our activities involves teaching about the brain. Undergraduates use the example of the brain to learn how science is used to unravel complex biological mysteries. More advanced students study to become experts themselves in how the brain works, how we study the brain and how we arrived at the ideas we presently have. We teach history of neuroscience to understand the foundations of the field and to learn how others thought about brain function. We also explore new methods that make understanding the bodyıs most complex organ a rich, exciting experience.
