Catalog Description: Variable topics of special interest in the field of Neuroscience & Behavioral Biology.

Semester Details:

Content: Selected undergraduates will have an opportunity to correlate experience with actual patients with the science behind the diagnosis. During their time in the clinics, students will act as a 'patient assistant," helping patients who may have partial paralysis or loss of sensation. They will record the details of the patient's history and neurological findings as the clinicians perform the exam. Students will choose an individual patient to present and will conduct research on the patient's neurological problem. Each student will be assigned a Clinical Neurology faculty mentor who will help develop the writing and poster projects. At the end of the semester, students will present a poster and paper to a faculty committee, post their work on learnlink to share with peers, and possibly publish their work.
