Sue,
Thanks for sending this! The website has several things that look like they could be very useful in my classes, for example, a neurophysiology lab simulation and a virtual transgenic fly lab for biological clocks. Dennis Dennis M. Goff Chair, Department of Psychology Professor of Psychology Randolph College (Founded as Randolph-Macon Woman's College in 1891) Lynchburg VA 24503 [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: FRANTZ, SUE [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2008 9:19 AM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Subject: [tips] "What is mind?" lecture Hi all, I just received word of this upcoming presentation from a colleague in biology: http://www.hhmi.org/biointeractive/hl/ The 2008 Holiday Lectures on Science What is mind? Can molecular biology help us understand mental function ? Eric R. Kandel, M.D. <http://www.hhmi.org/research/investigators/kandel_bio.html> and Thomas M. Jessell, Ph.D. <http://www.hhmi.org/research/investigators/jessell_bio.html> of Columbia University will help us understand how the nervous system turns an idea into action-from the complex processing that takes place in the brain to the direct marching orders the spinal cord gives to the muscles. Modern neuroscience equates mind with the organ we call the brain, an astounding network more than 100 billion neurons connected in a vast complicated web. The presenters will help us puzzle out how the brain is organized and identify the seat of human memory. The question of understanding how the brain functions is rivaled by the question of how such a complex network of cells develops in the first place.
