Society For Neuroscience: Neuroscience Education Resources Virtual Encycloportal [Pdf, Flash Player]

Neuro-science Portals, Gateways etc Trackbacks (0)

Created by a dedicated team at the Society for Neuroscience, the Neuroscience Education Resources Virtual Encycloportal (NERVE) website was created to provide educators with information and tools for teaching about the nervous system and related health issues. First-time visitors should click on the "How to Search" tab to get started. From here, visitors can select one of nine themes. The themes here include "Anatomy of the Brain and Nervous System", "Brain Basics", and "Neuroscientists at Work". Visitors can also specify their audience and the format here, and it will help refine their search. The "Brain Basics" area is particularly well-developed and it contains over 100 resources that feature Flash movies detailing the electrical activity in the brain and articles from BioEd about the functioning of the brain.

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/

Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons has been a leader in medical education for over a century, and this website is provided as public service for those in the field of medicine and neuroscience. The website provides a series of lectures and videos that provide a "comprehensive and concise review of the neurosciences." It's best to start by reading the executive summary, and then click on over to the "Topics and Speakers" area. Here visitors can look over several dozen lectures that include "Basic Mechanisms of Pain", "Molecular Genetics", and "Neurobiology of Schizophrenia". The lectures are all of very high quality, and visitors who are seeking additional information should look through the "References and Resources" area for external links to relevant medical organizations, research institutes, and academic departments.
