The third edition of the Sagrado Neuroscience Pre-College Program<\/strong> (SNPP) began this month, on virtual mode, with 35 high school students and two students from Sagrado Coraz\u00f3n University.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This pre-college internship \u2013 focused on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) within neuroscience \u2013 will address the following topics in its 2022 edition: neuroscience, musical and sensory perception, mindfulness on the brain, and the role of smell in neurodegenerative disorders. It will also include computational sciences in neuroscience and neurosurgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agenda is in charge of SNPP organizers, Dr. Edmarie Guzm\u00e1n V\u00e9lez<\/strong> and Dr. H\u00e9ctor De Jes\u00fas Cort\u00e9s<\/strong>, two Puerto Rican scientists living in the diaspora, who collaborate with the School of Professional Studies: Sagrado Global<\/a><\/strong> to carry out this initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The speakers are prestigious scientists and researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology<\/strong> (MIT): Christian Cardozo, Nancy Kanwisher, Pawan Sinha, Josh McDermott, Clemens Bauer, and Taylor Elise Baum. Resources also come from the Massachusetts General Hospital<\/strong> and Harvard Medical School<\/strong>: Julie Price, Steven Arnold, and Mark Albers; and from the University of Florida: Nancy Padilla Coreano; among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The participants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to participant Illenis Lugo Fernandini, from Adjuntas, the SNPP brings her closer to her dream of a career in neurosurgery. Meanwhile, Najib Strooband Said, from Arecibo, became interested in the SNPP after his father received a neurological diagnosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For their part, Gracia Ayala, from Ciales; Alejandra Sol Ramos, from San Juan; Amanda Rivera Romero, from Caguas; and the rest of the members will get to explore the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SNPP sponsors include MIT, MCS, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Brain + Cognitive Sciences, and individual donors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
