Genes to Cognition (G2C) Workshop
Friday, March 12, 2010 Santa Clara University, Santa Clara, CA

This free 1-day workshop introduces educators to up-to-date neuroscience research using interactive, web-based experiments. From molecular signals, to neural circuits, to anatomical structures of the brain, participants explore thinking and disorders of thinking at different levels of complexity. A new Internet site, Genes to Cognition Online (www.g2conline.org), provides resources to teach the complex workings of the brain, including unique learning aids that allow students to build concept maps to visualize the learning progress.
