Brief Biographical Sketch:

Tasneem Sadok is a neuroscience major and incoming junior. She is a proud community college transfer currently attending UCLA and plans to pursue an MD-PhD after a gap year working with an NGO. Other than being a total brain geek, Tasneem is also an aficionado of the literary arts and enjoys reading the classics and writing or performing her own pieces in her own time. She loves exploring new cultures through travel, trying bizarre foods, getting her physical activity done outdoors, and animals of all shapes and sizes, hoping to one day own a sizeable portion of the US canine population. Even more than her own affinity for humor, Tasneem loves to make those around her laugh, something she carries with her among her friends, family, and unfortunately for them, new acquaintances.

S155: Cracking the Cranium: an introduction to brain functionality in Splash Winter 2020 (Feb. 01, 2020)
How does our brain do that stuff? You know, stuff like make us excited about our favorite meal, laugh at a top-tier meme, or become hyper-aware in social situations. And with it stuck in our skull, how can we test what we supposedly already know about the brain and learn what we don’t? This class will serve as an introductory overview of brain functionality, with both lecture and participatory activity components. We will first establish basic gross brain anatomy, then explore how some of these areas are connected in facilitating higher-level cognition and behaviors, and finally touch on the logic behind experiments that expand our neuroscientific and psychological knowledge.
