Neural systems & Circuits provides students with an understandng of the structure, function, and arrangement of the mammalian nervous system. This course follows the Foundations I course that establishes an understanding of the structure and function of the cellular components involved in the nervous system. In this course, we discussed the mammalian brain, the purpose […]
The Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS) is a national research conference made up of over 5,000+ scientists at each level of education ranging from undergraduates to postdoctoral students, and program directors/ administrators. The program is designed to promote diversity in the STEM field by including minorities, individuals with disabilities, first-generation, and veterans […]
Molecular biology explores topics that provide a foundational understanding of a variety of science disciplines. In this course, we discussed transcription, translation, gene expression, proteomics, and much more. We applied our understanding of these topics to cancer biology, plant biology, evolution, and neurobiology. Based on the information learned I am better able to understand how […]
The Neuroscience program at Agnes Scott College uses an interdisciplinary approach to study the nervous system and the structure and function of the brain. This academic program provides a “foundation for understanding the biological, chemical, and psychological principles” necessary to understand the field of neuroscience. Some of the learning outcomes of the Neuroscience major aid […]
