Center for the Study of Learning, Instruction, and Teacher Development

UIC's Learning Sciences Research Institute (LSRI) is a newly formed unit dedicated to the support of multidisciplinary research on learning and teaching, and to the development and evaluation of learning environments and educational practices appropriate for 21st century schools. Drs. Susan Goldman and James Pellegrino are Co-Directors.

Center for Cognitive Medicine

The UIC campus is home to one of the best medical schools in the country, and there is a close connection between the division and the new Center for Cognitive Medicine in the Department of Psychiatry. With a minor in COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE, students are encouraged to develop an expertise in ERP and fMRI methodologies, as well as to explore the implications for cognitive theory from examination of both normal and patient populations. The minor will consist of courses in Human Anatomy and Physiology, Neuroscience Methodology, and seminars on special topics in Cognitive Neuroscience.
