The Flathead High School graduate had harbored an interest in neuroscience for years, beginning with a car wreck on Lookout Pass in 1997 that left her paraplegic. That interest was later ...
The Deutsche Neurowissenschaften-Olympiade (DNO or German Neuroscience Olympiad) is a series of competitions for students in grades 8 to 13, aimed at promoting interest in neuroscience. The competition takes place at two levels: city and national.
Mountcastle's interest in cognition, specifically perception, led him to guide his laboratory to studies that linked perception and neural responses in the 1960s.Although there were several notable works from his laboratory, the highest profile early paper appeared in 1968, [10] a study explaining the neural basis of Flutter and vibration by the action of peripheral mechanoreceptors.
Neuroscience and intelligence refers to the various neurological factors that are partly responsible for the variation of intelligence within species or between different species. A large amount of research in this area has been focused on the neural basis of human intelligence .
The BRAIN Initiative reflects a number of influences, stemming back over a decade. Some of these include: planning meetings at the National Institutes of Health that led to the NIH's Blueprint for Neuroscience Research; [9] workshops at the National Science Foundation (NSF) on cognition, neuroscience, and convergent science, including a 2006 report on "Grand Challenges of Mind and Brain"; [10 ...
Outside of the school, Lisberger was gaining national recognition for his research into brain mechanisms and visual movement. He received the 1986 Young Investigator Award from the Society of Neuroscience [ 10 ] and was appointed Senior Editor for Systems/Behavior for The Journal of Neuroscience in 1999. [ 11 ]
