Course Highlights,
This survey course is designed to give students an overview of several different research areas in the field of neuroscience. Professors who are leaders in their fields present their research and future directions, to give the students a sense of what the field is and where it is going. The main questions yet to be answered will be raised, and each professor will explain how they are tackling these questions. The lecture notes give an outline and overview of each professor's presentation. The related resources provide areas for further exploration of the topics.

This course is offered during the Independent Activities Period (IAP), which is a special 4-week term at MIT that runs from the first week of January until the end of the month.
