    Out Now: The 2025 Guide to Summer Programs!

    Boston Leadership Institute: Neurosurgery Research CalenderRecently Updated

    Overview

    Experience a rare, hands-on look at the nervous system and brain. Join an elite group of students who will study neurological diseases and disorders that require neurological intervention. This is a competitive admissions summer research program designed for teens.

    Students will explore parts of the brain and their functions through lectures, dissection, and study of models. Case studies are used to bring the material to life as real-life stories illustrate the effects on behavior and sensory perception of individuals with missing or destroyed brain regions, such as injury or Alzheimer’s and other neurological disorders. Students will cover neuroimaging techniques from EEG to FMRI and PET/SPECT, that provide a window into the brain and enable physicians and scientists to visualize brain activity and track states of consciousness.
