Neuroscience Education
iNeuron was developed in collaboration by BrainU at the University of Minnesota and Adventium Labs®, and funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) as part of the Innovative Neuroscience K-12 Education program. The objective of iNeuron is to provide an engaging, hands-on, learning environment that leverages mobile devices and their increasing prevalence in classrooms. The game is expected to increase K-12 student and general public understanding of normal nervous system functions as well as drug interactions, mental health, and neurological disorders. It will support NIH and Federal goals for neuroscience education and numerous state standards including those from Arizona, California, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas.
iNeuron is available at the Andamio Games™.
