Psychology and Neuroscience Professors Drs. Lynda Sharrett and Mark Prendergast have been invited to guest edited a special of the neuroscience journal Brain Sciences focused on innovative approaches to teaching neuroscience at the undergraduate level.

Neuroscience is growing globally, as an educational discipline and occupational focus. Recent findings suggest that the impetus for this growth is due to students’ inherent interest in brain-body connections , as well as a recognition that neuroscience, being a multidisciplinary field of study, will provide students with a comprehensive foundation suited for subsequent graduate and professional studies. Teaching undergraduate students in this broad, interdisciplinary field can be challenging and requires integrating instructional techniques from the natural and social sciences, encouraging scientific exploration, and engaging students in research.

This special issue of Brain Sciences will feature papers from across the globe that describe novel methods for engaging students in the instruction of neuroscience.
