How does the brain work?
- This session includes basic anatomy of nerve cells, the breathtaking speed and complexity with which they communicate, the main components of the brain, and their primary functions.
- We talk about functional MRI, what we can (and can’t) learn with this technique, and how it can be used to diagnose diseases.
How do we sense?
- We see how our brains transform a barrage of sensory input into what we experience as vision, smell, taste, hearing, and touch.
- We study the sense organs themselves, which are remarkably different from one another, and go on to examine how and where in the brain the information gets processed.
How do we feel?
- Looking beyond the concepts of short- and long-term memory, we look at the different kinds of memory involved in different parts of the brain, and how they play a part in how we express emotions.
- We discuss the anatomy of emotions which involves the limbic system along with complex connections to the rest of the brain.
- We also study what we can learn about social interactions and learning by studying model organisms.
How do we think?
- We discuss processes unique to the human brain: planning, problem solving, and decision- making.
- We discuss "neuroeconomics": an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the neural events that underlie behavioral decision-making.
How do our brains change?
- We discuss that our brains are profoundly affected by our experiences, and also that we have the ability to recover from trauma with appropriate training.
How has our brain evolved?
- In the final week we start with a tour of the nervous system through the tree of life, and then focus on one extraordinary human attribute: the capacity for abstract thought.
- We discuss that at some point in our evolutionary past, humans developed the ability to use symbols to represent our interior and exterior experiences, and talk about how brain size evolved.

What is the evidence for evolution?
- We provide brief overviews on paleontology and systematic biology, and how scientists in these two disciplines discover and describe Earth's species, determine their evolutionary relationships, and use those relationships to infer how life has diversified and evolved across space and time
How Do We Reconstruct Evolutionary History?
- In this module we examine the evidence and methods that scientists employ to reconstruct the history of life.
- Then we discuss the general pattern of relationships among the major groups of organisms, and how those groups have diversified across time.
How does evolution work?
- This week we turn to the mechanisms of evolution, and explore the importance of genetic variation within populations, how that variation is related to phenotypic variation within them, and how phenotypic evolution is in turn shaped by natural selection and other mechanisms.
How do new species form?
- We discuss The Origin of Species—the big question that Darwin addressed in his famous book published in 1859.
- Participants are exposed to the debate about what a species is and why it's often difficult to discern species limits.
- We also review the different ways in which evolutionists think species arise, and how we study these phenomena.
How have humans evolved?
- Fossil records show that Homo sapiens is only one of many hominid species to have lived on Earth.
- We discuss whether the fact that we're the only species left from our lineage is unusual in evolutionary terms.
- We discuss what we can learn from comparisons with our closest living relations, the bonobo and the chimpanzee.
How does evolution impact our lives?
- The course ends with a summary of the many ways in which this contributes to our individual and collective well-being.
- We also discuss the implications and importance of teaching evolution in schools.

5/2016-7/2016: I designed, implemented and evaluated a neuroscience curriculum for 20 ninth graders, coordinating with a few teachers to make sure my curriculum was strong. I organized visits from a neuroscientist to demonstrate an EEG helmet and members of the community to demo sign language. I arranged for a field trip to Biobase, where we looked at how alcohol alters the heart rate of Daphnia and did an experiment to see if Daphnia are attracted to different color light. To explain plasticity, I used dance, and had a student play the viola. I coordinated with NYU for supplies, and mentored two teaching assistants. For their final projects, the students created a video (shown below) entitled "My strange addiction". This article for Neuronline give a few pointers to scientists interested in teaching younger students. |
