Genes To Cognition Online, Neuroscience Web Site
Neuro-science Portals, Gateways etc Cognitive Psychology Trackbacks (0)
The Dolan DNA Learning Center at Cold Spring Harbor, NY has created
this fantastic website to explore neuroscience, and it is focused on
cognitive disorders, cognitive processes, and research approaches.
There are many activities on the site, and each is broken down into six
categories of analysis, "Genes", "Biochemicals", "Cells", "Brain
Anatomy", "Cognition", and "Environment". Thus, clicking on "Bipolar
Disorder" under the "Disorders" tab at the top of the page, will take
the visitor to a "subway line" at the top of the page. There are
several "stops" on the line, and each allows the visitor to learn about
the key areas of bipolar disorder research. Scrolling over the stops
opens up a small window with a blurb about the content to view. The
blurb also shows whether the content is a video, an application,
animation, etc. Visitors wishing to see all the research available,
should click on the network map, which is the screen behind the smaller
"subway line" page. The "Teacher Feature", under the "Targeted Content"
tab, and next to the small model of the brain, offers lessons on such
topics as autism, memory, and ethical decision-making. "Teacher Pages,"
"Student Worksheets", and "Test Items" are offered in PDF form. [KMG] From Scout Report http://www.g2conline.org/
