Online Courses
Online courses are some of the best ways to introduce yourself to neuroscience, especially if you are studying at a pre-collegiate level. For students who don’t necessarily have exposure to neuroscience / upper-education classes, online neuroscience courses help to provide a guidance mechanism in which they can pursue the rest of their future neuroscience goals in the future through establishing a stable foundation of educational success in the present.
Here are some of the most popular neuroscience courses from "EdX": https://www.edx.org/learn/neuroscience
Neuroscience Internships
