<p>Has anybody attended/ heard of these? Thank you for posting a link to the website for each, its very helpful. Thanks!</p>
<p>About the only one I know about is the one in the Johns Hopkins CTY or Duke TIPS program. Google should send you down the path to many options though. </p>
<p>[CTY:</a> Intensive Studies for 7th Graders and Above](<a href=“http://cty.jhu.edu/summer/catalogs/is/isscience.html#neur]CTY:”>http://cty.jhu.edu/summer/catalogs/is/isscience.html#neur)</p>
<p>Prerequisite: Successful completion of CTYOnlines Honors Biology, our Fast-Paced High School Biology, or at least a B in first-year high school biology.</p>
<p>Where do memories get stored, and why do Alzheimers patients have difficulties making new ones? What causes our inner clock to slow down as we are about to have an automobile accident? Why was Phineas Gage able to talk, walk, and be free of pain just minutes after a three-foot-long metal rod pierced through his head, destroying most of the left front side of his brain? Neuroscientists use an interdisciplinary approach, drawing on biology, chemistry, physics, and psychology to unlock the answers to these and other questions about that most complex of all systems, the human brain and nervous system.</p>
<p>In this course, students investigate the development, evolution, and structure of the brain and nervous system. They approach neuroanatomy from the gross and microscopic levels and learn how neurons communicate with each other biochemically. They explore the functional integration of areas of the brain and neuroplasticity, neuropharmacology, diseases and disorders of the nervous system, and the nature of consciousness. Students also examine the neuronal basis of perception, learning and memory, sleep and dreaming, and language acquisition and use. In addition to lecture and discussion sessions, students participate in dissection, model building, and laboratory activities that use principles from various scientific disciplines.</p>

<p>The Duke TIPS program has one too; offered to 8-10 graders.</p>
<p>[Courses</a> | Duke TIP](<a href=“http://www.tip.duke.edu/node/542]Courses”>http://www.tip.duke.edu/node/542)</p>
<p>Humans everywhere are turning to the brain for answers to questions that have plagued our species for centuries: Why do people do evil things? What is love? Why do we dream? How do we remember? What is consciousness? Address these questions from the perspectives of a variety of academic disciplines such as physiology, pharmacology, pathology, psychology, and philosophy. After becoming acquainted with the methods and tools that researchers employ in their studies, explore puzzling questions by examining evolving theories and contemporary methodologies in science and philosophy. Examine the basic structural and organizational aspects of neuroanatomy and physiology, and study current research regarding sleeping/dreaming, consciousness, behavioral disorders, neuropathology, memory, and artificial intelligence.</p>
<p>Stanford’s SIMR program offers neuroscience opportunities. Look up threads here on CC for information!</p>
<p>ik people who took the cty one and they enjoyed it very much. even though the camp begins at 7th grade, the age level of the people who took the class was mostly rising sophomores</p>
<p>If you are a girl the Smith summer science and engineering program is an optionn. I took a course on neuroscience :)</p>
