Course Description:
It’s all about the brain - and your best brain! For example, Hippocrates said, “let food be your medicine.” Can what you eat affect your brain? What happens to your brain when you exercise? Why do we feel better after an experience in nature? What helps brains recover? Recent research has provided new insight into all of these questions. This course explores brain function and how it relates to your inner and outer environment. We will visit neuroscience research laboratories and participate in a community garden. Seminar content will interface with extracurricular activities surrounding the year-long celebration of the 25th Anniversary of Trinity’s Neuroscience Program. Activities will include readings, written assignments, group discussions and debates, field trips, community involvement and student presentations. |
