Neural-vill:Diagramming Neural Activity

Reinforce the neural connections in the brains of your young biologists with a simple anatomy worksheet. Looking at the provided diagram of a neuron, students are asked to correctly identify and describe the function of each of the six...

Using a simple circuit with the battery representing the brain, future physiologists test to see which solutions conduct electrical "nerve impulses." Enlighten learners with plentiful information on electric signals in the nervous system...

How does information move into long-term memory? Scholars view the process at the molecular level with an animation. They learn about synaptic growth and how specific genes become active.

Physical therapists state that relearning how to walk often motivates stroke and brain injury patients. Researchers spend a great deal of time focused on understanding the neural control required for walking. They pass along that...

How do scientists know which parts of the brain various functions use? With the help of an animated cat, viewers observe this process. They listen to the activity of one neuron as the cat steps over an obstacle and hear when the neuron...

Take autism awareness in your class to a whole new level. Scholars watch a short video to discover how autism affects the brain. The narrator discusses the effects of altered proteins on neural synapses and the role the nucleus plays in...

Scientists have yet to find the limit on the human brain's capacity for memory storage, so the potential is limitless!  An animated video demonstrates how the brain places information in short-term memory. Viewers observe the importance...

Viewers follow the development of a human embryo, the brain, and the number of neurons at each stage. They learn when the brain stops growing and the importance of neural connectivity.

Students discuss the nervous system and its pathology. They are then able to explain what neural physiology is. They use this game to further help them to develop clear meaning of the nervous system.

Students model the plasticity of neural pathways for memory in the brain. They simulate the cell activity according to dots on cards that they are given. They complete various simulations of different cell combinations.
