The
Society for Neuroscience has created a wonderful resource that could potentially be utilized by those of us who can get our kids to the internet or for use during snow days or other cancellations. It could also be used in a webquest. Wonderful name as well: "NERVE: Virtual Encycloportal." I do believe they have engaged in creating a new word, a neologism.
After the
welcome page, the user is directed to this page where there are links to various themes including addiction, anatomy of the brain, and much more as you can see from the graphic on the left.
Each theme has numerous links to other resources that provide an incredible wealth of information and graphical representation of each topic. One could literally spend days examining all the sites.
In fact, I will be starting my background research for my neuroscience, mental health, and sensation and perception units from this page. There are just so many incredible resources.
Do take the time to visit the site and search through the topics.
Core Concepts in Neuroscience is a booklet that is downloadable for teachers and students to use. Not only is there the booklet, but there is a short
PowerPoint that you can download.
