Published Categorized as 2016, Camp Explorations

We are so excited for our special Neuroscience Camp that we offering this year.  In this camp, campers will learn about the brain, neurons, memory and motor functions and even get to develop their own experiments.

On Monday, we will learn about the brain. Ask me about…

  • The model neuron I made.
  • The electrical activity I saw of 2 muscles
On Tuesday, we explored the neurons of cockroach legs.  Ask me about…
  • The cockroach leg and what effect temperature had on it.
  • The “dancing” cockroach leg.
  • The Anatomage Table at the Taubman Library.
On Wednesday, we learned about human muscles and action potentials. Ask me about…
  • The neuron activity I saw from the small muscles in my hand.
  • My reaction time and how it compared to other peoples. 
  • The Lab I toured. 
On Thursday, it’s all optogenetics and memory.  Ask me about…
  • The experiments I did with the flies.
  • The memory experiments we did.  
On Friday, we will complete our experiments and learn about smells.  Ask me about…
  • Our smell walk in the Arb.
  • The experiments my group created/tested.
