The Curriculum in Neurobiology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is a broadly-based interdisciplinary graduate training program in the neurosciences. With 70 active faculty, strong research funding, and a long and successful training history, the Curriculum ranks among the best programs in the country.
Brain Awareness Week, 2008:
Neurobiology students Kim Carpenter, Maggie McCormick (Cell & Molecular Physiology), Rebekah Corlew, Alex Raines, Jaeda Coutinho, and Buddy Whitman visited three fifth grade classes as part of Mr. Horton's bicycle safety day at North Chatham School. They discussed neuronal communication and brain injury with hands-on teaching activities, including displays of human and sheep brains. This was the first in a series of visits to local schools by a larger group of Neurobiology students led by Dr. Marianne Meeker (Cell & Molecular Physiology). (View photos.)
