Job Description
Columbia University’s Pre-College Programs for High School Students is seeking qualified candidates to develop and teach on-campus (i.
e., in person) courses during Summer ’24.
Session :
Summer A : June 24th to July 12th
Class Times :
9 : 10am-11am & 1 : 10pm-3pm EST
Course description :
This course is designed for students interested in the science of the brain, including its evolutionary origins, early development, and role in generating behavior.
We explore theories of the brain as the seat of the self from ancient Greece to modern times, and investigate systems that make up the brain from the individual neuron to the entire central nervous system.
We also look into how sensation, perception, and decision making work at the physiological level. The course blends historical trends in neuroscience with modern experiments and findings, and touches on major areas of research including animal studies, recording and imaging techniques, computational neuroscience, and neuropharmacology.
In-class small-group exercises, in addition to lectures, allow students to tangibly explore the ideas presented in class.
Participants construct various models of the brain, critique professional neuroscientific papers as peer-reviewers, and visualize actual neural data with instructor guidance.
