社区外展

The Center for Excellence in the Neurosciences' k - 12外展 Program brings together UNE faculty, 专业人员, and students and puts them into area K-12 schools. We bring a variety of short interactive lessons (called modules), each tailored for different age groups, to teach students about neuroscience, 包括脑部解剖, 函数, 和伤害.

我们每年也举办一次 Brain, Body, and 健康 Fair to engage the local community in brain exploration. Our most popular outreach event, the goal of the fair is to promote interest in STEM disciplines (neuroscience in particular) within the greater community.

The CEN also moderates the Southern Maine Brain Bee. Organized by the Society for Neuroscience, the Brain Bee is a national quiz bowl for high school students. It is designed to promote brain awareness while motivating students to pursue 护理ers in the neurosciences. Learn more about the National Brain Bee

The Center for Excellence in the Neurosciences (CEN) is involved in pain 教育 and advocacy in a number of ways. 首先是全球网络赌博平台 Center to Advance Interprofessional Education and Practice (CAIEP, formerly the Center for Excellence in Collaborative Education), CEN brings together groups of health 护理 professionals, 科学家们, 教育工作者, 学者, and students who share a passion for transforming pain prevention, 护理, 教育, 和研究.

Through a series of CAIEP events, current chronic pain patients have been invited to speak to medical students about their pain experiences. This opportunity has created a connection between the local chronic pain community and UNE and has assisted with integrating pain 教育 into the curriculum at the College of 整骨疗法的医学.

视频系列

CEN has also created a series of 视频故事 of patients with pain conditions. These materials have been crafted in hopes of training future practitioners to provide the highest quality of 护理 to patients experiencing chronic pain.

痛苦编年史

We are very active in educating the local community about chronic pain. 在一起 with the UNE Library, CEN created an art exhibit called Pain Chronicles, which was on display in the UNE Art Gallery in the Ketchum Library. The exhibit featured dramatic color images of cells of the nervous system, from fruit flies and mammals, which together illustrate the diverse nature of neurons involved in the development of chronic pain.

这些图片, taken by UNE neuroscience investigators (students, 专业人员, and faculty) use cutting-edge microscopy to demonstrate the simple and elegant beauty of cells that cause pain. The exhibition also featured self-narratives captured on film and portraits of individuals with chronic pain. 在一起, these mediums provide unique insight into the lives and challenges faced by chronic pain patients.
