Enhancement of Undergraduate Neuroscience Instruction and Laboratory Experiences

学生为科学家和教师的职业做准备 在实验室里进行实验后 类和独立的研究，以组织学和神经 成像系统，使人们能够窥视工作， 神经系统的结构。 现有心理学课程 将会改进，并且我们正在添加额外的上层 神经技术和神经解剖学实验课程。 同时，里士满大学的学生将参与 与当地中学理科学生的活动，包括 他们在实验室的经验都在大学使用 新设备和在自己的学校，促进创造性和 关于大脑、神经系统的批判性思维技能 和行为，同时培养对科学的兴趣。 合作也将继续与心理学教师和 兰道夫梅肯女子学院的学生

Students preparation for careers as scientists and teachers will improve significantly by exposure in their laboratory classes and independent research to a histology and neural imaging system that enables one to peer into the workings and structure of the nervous system. Existing psychology courses will improve, and we are adding an additional upper-level laboratory course on neural techniques and neuroanatomy. Concurrently, University of Richmond students will engage in activities with local middle-school science students, involving them in laboratory experiences both at the university using the new equipment and at their own school, promoting creative and critical thinking skills regarding the brain, nervous system and behavior, while fostering an interest in science. Collaborations will also continue with psychology faculty and students from neighboring Randolph-Macon Women's College.
