INTEGRATING MODELING AND LABORATORY SESSIONS IN NEUROSCIENCE

生命科学生物学（61）.来自工程学院和艺术与科学学院的跨学科教师团队正在合作开发和教授计算神经科学的新课程。智力的优点是引入更多的定量经验，从生物和行为科学的学生，同时暴露从定量科学的学生从生物科学的一些有趣的问题和实验技术。通过合作，来自两所大学的教师将扩展他们的专业知识，并能够让学生参与计算神经科学中新兴问题的调查。新课程是定义计算神经科学未成年人的第一步。为了产生更广泛的影响，夏季研讨会为其他教师提供了了解该课程的机会，以便他们能够提高自己在其他机构的生物课程中应用更多数学的能力。

Life Science Biological (61). An interdisciplinary team of faculty from Colleges of Engineering and of Arts and Sciences are collaborating to develop and teach a new course in computational neuroscience. The intellectual merit is to introduce more quantitative experience to students from biological and behavioral science while exposing students from quantitative sciences to some interesting questions and experimental techniques from the biological sciences. By collaborating, the faculty from both colleges will extend their expertise and be able to involve students with investigations of emerging questions in computational neuroscience. The new course represents a first step for defining a minor in computational neuroscience. For broader impact, a summer workshop is providing opportunities for other faculty to learn about the course so they can increase their own capacity to apply more mathematics within the biology curriculum at other institutions.
