Students learn about the functional grouping of cranial nerves and match the regions of the forebrain and brain stem that are connected to each cranial nerve.

Students study the adult brain, and learn the connections between the cerebrum and brain stem through the diencephalon, and from those regions into the spinal cord.

In this lesson on the brain's neural networks, students investigate the structure and function of the neuron. They discover ways in which engineers apply this knowledge to the development of devices that can activate neurons. Includes...

Students learn the pathways that sensory systems follow into the central nervous system, and understand the difference between the two major ascending pathways in the spinal cord.
