LC 282 - Learning Community: Neuroscience: Mind, Body, CommunityThree Credits
Fall Semester
What makes us who we are? Is it our experiences? Is it our memory of our experiences? Is it our relationships with others? Is it our ability to know our loved ones? Neuroscientists have shown that brain disorders can selectively destroy each of these aspects of who we are. This LC combines aspects of biology (Topics in Biology) and psychology (Brain and Behavior) with a truly unique and exciting experience in that students will participate in community-based service learning at the Yawkey House of Possibilities, a facility on the Stonehill campus that provides care for children with neurodevelopmental illness. By combining these three experiences, students will gain a deep and integrative insight into neurodevelopment from psychological, biological and personal perspectives.
Corequisite(s): Students must also take and as part of this Learning Community.
