University School Students Visit NSU’s Neuroscience Lab

Students in our Psychology Internship visited Nova Southeastern University‘s Neuroscience Laboratory in the Center for Collaborative Research where they dissected a sheep brain. Led by NSU neuroscience faculty member Dr. James Muñoz, students learned how remarkably similar the anatomy of a sheep brain is to the human brain.

Using their knowledge gained in our AP psychology course, students were able to identify brain structures and functions in real time during the dissection. Students also learned about Dr. Muñoz’s exciting research on gene therapy and neural stem cells and their potential applications to cognitive disorders like Alzheimer’s disease.
