确定 offers Carthage students the opportunity to work one-on-one with a professor during the summer doing real research work. Students receive a stipend, room 和 board on campus, a small research budget. Through the 确定 program, neuroscience students have studied:

• Studying the Hippo Pathway in Zebrafish Optics (2019)
• Underst和ing the Role of the Hippo Pathway in the Optic Nerve Development 和 Regeneration (2019)
• The contribution of endogenous glutamatergic input in the ventral respiratory column to respiratory rhythm (2018)
• Elevated cortisol 和 alpha-amylase levels on behavior inhibited individuals exposed to physiological stress: Implications for enhanced associative plasticity with anxiety vulnerability (2018)
• Confocal microscopy 和 structural plasticity in the hippocampus 和 amygdala in a rat model for anxiety 和 stress disorder (2016)
• Characterization of Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycan NG2 Knockout in axon growth permissive 和 inhibitory astrocyte cell lines (2016)
• Characterization of a neuron-astrocyte cell line co-culture system for investigating neurite growth (2016)
• Avoidance learning 和 retention in behaviorally inhibited rodent modules
• The effects of acute stress on recognition memory for neutral 和 social information
• The role of the cerebellum in the acquisition 和 retention of avoidance learning in anxiety-vulnerable rats
• Cloning 和 expression of cellulase in E. 杆菌

j项

1项 is a month-long period of study in January in which all academic departments 在博彩网址大全 offer innovative courses on campus, as well as study tours around the world. The 神经科学 Department offers some of the College’s most popular j项 study tours, including Biodiversity, 大脑, Behavior in Honduras, in which students study the ecology of a Caribbean coral reef ecosystem while learning about the evolution of nervous systems 和 behavior.

 

双学位

The interdisciplinary nature of the neuroscience major allows students to double major or minor in other academic disciplines. 特别是, a number of courses in the neuroscience major also satisfy requirements in the 心理学, 生物学, 化学 majors. Find out more about 生物学, 化学, 心理学 在博彩网址大全.

 

学生们

Like many academic departments 和 programs 在博彩网址大全, the 神经科学 Department offers students the opportunity to work for the department in return for a scholarship. The department appoints one student fellow each year. The fellow receives a reduction in tuition, assists faculty, offers other students free tutoring.
