The laboratory experience familiarizes the student with research techniques used in behavioral neuroscience. Laboratory exercises include brain tissue observations (human) and animal brain dissections (sheep and mice). Various tissues of the nervous system will be observed using microscopy. Brain neuroimaging techniques will be discussed and the applications of imaging brain function will be emphasized. Students will conduct a final project on a behavioral neuroscience technique.
