Getting involved in neuroscience education

Volunteering: During March, which is Brain Awareness month, the Atlanta Chapter of the Society for Neuroscience visits local k-12 schools to talk about the brain and neuroscience. Last year they visited more than 3200 students!

Every spring the CBN hosts a “Neuroscience Expo” at Zoo Atlanta. It features more than 30 interactive stations with short neuroscience lessons to engage visitors in topics ranging from brain cells and brain anatomy to learning, memory and neurological disorders. 

GSU Neuroscience:

• There is a Neurobiology and Behavior Concentration for Biology Majors. See http://biology.gsu.edu/undergraduate/concentrations/nb.html for details.

• You can also sign up for research credit
