NBB Calendar
|
|
NBB has already become a nationally recognized destination for some of the brightest students interested in behavioral and neuroscience. During 2003 to 2006 time span, NBB had the highest percentage of College graduates continuing with graduate studies within three years (73.4%) of any major department or program at Emory.More and more students specifically indicate that their selection of Emory was based on their interest in the NBB program which is possibly the largest degree-granting undergraduate program anywhere.
NBB's reputation is reflected in the 2006-2007 Georgia College Guide published by Atlanta Magazine (Nov. 2006) talking about Emory University "Among many other unique resources are one of the nation's largest Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology Departments"
New NBB course
The Clinical Research Practicum in Emergency Medicine teaches the fundamentals of research to undergraduate students. The setting is the Emergency Department at Grady Memorial Hospital, Atlanta’s only Level 1 trauma center. Students will work closely with physicians in a research capacity. The course is comprised of several didactic lectures/conferences that allow for group discussion of various issue in clinical research. In addition, all Practicum students are assigned “shifts” in clinical data collection and patient interviews. The didactic sessions will be coupled with a discussion of each ongoing research project. This program stresses professional responsibility, independent thinking, research design, and data collection methods

New NBB course
Neuroeconomics
|
|
This course is designed to provide students with an introduction to the field of neuroeconomics. Upon completion of the course, students will have a basic understanding of the tools used to study the neurobiology of decision making. Topics will include an introduction to brain anatomy, how neurons function, and key neurotransmitter systems associated with valuation. A core topic will be an introduction to functional MRI and how to use fMRI to measure neurobiological processes of decision making. Practical applications will be covered including the use of fMRI to predict choice, lie detection, social preferences, and neuromarketing Midterm “white paper” (20%), final research proposal or business plan in which the student proposes a use of fMRI in an economic or business application (paper – 40%, presentation – 40%). Prerequisites: ECON 201 and 212, or NBB 301 and 302, or consent of instructor.
