Neuroscience Axis organizes opportunities to learn and share information about Neuroscience through extracurricular activities.
Each semester Neuroscience Axis sponsors a talk entitled, “How to get involved in research.”
Some of our common events include…
Sheep brain anatomy
biologycorner via Compfight
Students learned how to assemble spiker boxes.
We learned to record action potentials with a spiker box, and we present demonstrations in the fall at the Organizational Fair, and in the spring at the Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities (URECA) conference.
We have competed in the Roth Pond Regattta
We learned how to use a compound microscope and we played Brain Bingo
A Brain Bingo Card Images of sections are from the NSF funded Human Brain Atlas at https://www.msu.edu/~brains/brains/human/index.html 3D models were developed with the Albany Medical School Virtual Brain Model
At the end of each year, we hold a GALA event with Psi Chi and Psychology Student Alliance. Past speakers have talked about the neuroscience of juggling, the path to their career in neuroscience, and Art and Neuroscience. (see our GALA post)
