9.14 Brain Structure and Its Origins (MIT)
Outline of mammalian functional neuroanatomy, aided by studies of comparative
neuroanatomy and evolution, and of brain development. Topics include early steps to a
central nervous system, basic patterns of brain and spinal cord connections, regional
development and differentiation, regeneration, motor and sensory pathways and
structures, systems underlying motivations, innate action patterns, formation of
habits, and various cognitive functions. Lab techniques reviewed. Optional brain

9.01 Introduction to Neuroscience (MIT)
This course is an introduction to the mammalian nervous system, with emphasis on the structure and function of the human brain. Topics include the function of nerve cells, sensory systems, control of movement, learning and memory, and diseases of the brain.

Nerve Racking
This lesson describes the function and components of the human nervous system. It helps students understand the purpose of our brain, spinal cord, nerves and the five senses. How the nervous system is affected during spaceflight is also discussed in this lesson.
7.391 Concept-Centered Teaching (MIT)
Do you like teaching, but find yourself frustrated by how little students seem to learn? Would you like to try teaching, but are nervous about whether you will be any good at it? Are you interested in new research on science education? Research in science education shows that the greatest obstacle to student learning is the failure to identify and confront the misconceptions with which the students enter the class or those that they acquire during their studies. This weekly seminar course focuse

Histology, sympathetic ganglion x4, (direct/above view). Rat dissection stills taken from FARID (Functional Anatomy of the Rat [Interactive Dissection]). This resource was authored by Megan Quentin-Baxter and David Dewhurst, with Graham Irving and Stephen Mera at Leeds Metropolitan University.
Neurological Diseases
Students will research common diseases/disorders that affect the nervous system. They can present their findings to the class to enhance the class's understanding
9.011 The Brain and Cognitive Sciences I (MIT)
Survey of principles underlying the structure and function of the nervous system, integrating molecular, cellular, and systems approaches. Topics: development of the nervous system and its connections, cell biology or neurons, neurotransmitters and synaptic transmission, sensory systems of the brain, the neuro-endocrine system, the motor system, higher cortical functions, behavioral and cellular analyses of learning and memory. First half of an intensive two-term survey of brain and behavioral s

The Engineering and the Human Body unit covers the broad spectrum of topics that make-up our very amazing human body. Students are introduced to the space environment and learn the major differences between the environment on Earth and that of outer space. The engineering challenges that arise because of these discrepancies are also discussed. Then, students dive into the different components that make up the human body: muscles, bones and joints, the digestive and circulatory systems, the nervo

Basic overview of the nervous system and how it functions. Describes a single neuron and how each part functions to help the neuron. Color animation with narration. 1:34 min.
This is a short (3:16), computer-animated video on the central nervous system.
Professor George Wolfe discusses the central and peripheral nervous systems and the neuron in this video from Thinkwell's online Biology series. The video uses lecture format along with notes and illustrations on the board. Run time 08:21.
By September of 1929, nervous investors began selling stocks in order to get out of the market while prices were still high. As the volume of selling increased, stock prices began to fall in October. On October 24 (Black Thursday) and October 29 (Black Tuesday), prices fell drastically as sellers panicked. By December, a staggering $40 billion in stock value had been lost. Hoover and business leaders attempted to calm Americans by assuring them that the country's economy was fundamentally sound.
This video, from StudyBeat.com, is for older middle school students and high school students. The central nervous system is told through animation.
Learn about your nervous system and its major organs with this short, catchy tune from School House Rock. (3:01)
The pacemaker of the heart, a tiny area of specialized nervous tissue in the right atrium, sets the heart beating. The electrochemical impulse travels from the SA Node to the AV Node. The AV Node causes contraction of the ventricles.
