Overview: The goal of this module is for participants to review the basic neuroanatomy of the brain through an interactive game that capitalizes on active learning. Understanding the major areas of the brain and their basic functions provides a necessary foundation for any neuroscience curriculum. The success of these sessions relies on making classroom exercises as interactive and fun as possible. The session employs simple techniques with readily available resources that any program can use with their trainees.
