1363. Genes for memory (lesson)
Students will experiment with an interactive animation to compare mutant and wild-type mice in a water maze. They will analyze data and discuss findings of a research paper.
908. Autism Candidate Genes
Use this chromosome map to explore genes associated with autism.
1361. Model Organisms (Lesson)
Students work through a series of experiments that investigate the use of model organisms in the search for a better understanding of the genes that influence memory formation.
1997. Learning and memory
Learning and memory are two intimately linked cognitive processes that stem from interactions with the environment (experience).
1354. Autism (lesson)
Students learn about the symptoms associated with autism, explore the nature of 'normal' behavior, and can design a quasi-experiment to test a hypothesis about autism.
865. Mental Retardation
Mental retardation: struggle, stigma, science.
550. The Neural Code
Cognitive information is encoded in patterns of nervous activity and decoded by molecular listening devices at the synapse. Professor Seth Grant explains how different patterns of neural firing are critical to cognition.
1362. Schizophrenia (lesson)
Students will learn to determine symptoms of schizophrenia, examine the relationships among genes, neurotransmitters, and identify relevant brain structures.
15566. Model organisms (yeast, bacteria, mouse, fruit fly)
Model organisms such as yeast, bacteria, the mouse and the fruit fly are used by researchers to study biological systems. The genomes of these organisms have been mapped and sequenced.
835. Neuroethics and Neuroimaging
New technologies that permit us to observe the workings of the human brain and to influence its function also raise critical ethical and policy questions.
