The Society for Neuroscience Partnership in Science Literacy aims to form an enduring relationship between the Society for Neuroscience and the Boston Museum of Science. The first project will be an endeavor in adult science education, with the Division on Addictions at Harvard Medical School acting as the representative of the Society for Neuroscience. Phase one of the Partnership will consist of a 6 month development period, followed by a year-long program at the Museum of Science. During the second phase, the products of the Partnership will be widely disseminated by the Society for Neuroscience. The Partnership will plan a multidisciplinary program that will provide adults with an appreciation for the methods of scientific research, and teach them about the neurobiology of drug abuse, addiction, and a co-morbid disease, depression. The program will consist of a two-character multimedia play that will raise important scientific questions relating to drug abuse, addiction, and depression, and a CD-ROM-based exhibit that will teach the neurobiology underlying these issues. The play will be shown in a Museum theater 60-80 times during the year. It will promote audience participation, build a human context for scientific questions relating to drug use, and motivate viewers to explore the exhibit. The exhibit will consist of a large screen high-density TV monitor displaying a continuously running introduction to the exhibit (a photo-CD program having stills and animation). The exhibit will also have 10 stations, each of which will consist of a panel (artifacts and graphics) and a 14" color television monitor that will display CD-ROM,programs containing slides, videos, and animated films. Five of the monitors will present background information on the following topics: 1) Drugs (definitions, classes, sources, other uses); 2) Cellular Communication (neuronal structure, synaptic transmission, drug-receptor interactions); 3) Relevant Neuroanatomy (the dopaminergic midbrain reward system relevant to addiction, noradrenergic and serotonergic pathways relevant to depression); 4) Addiction (definitions, concepts, risk factors, co-morbidity, treatment approaches); and 5) Research (the scientific method and its role in public health). The remaining monitors will present information about the following drugs or classes of drug: alcohol, nicotine, cocaine, opiates, and cannabis/hallucinogens. The scientific information will also be presented in 4 lectures/slide presentations (involving audience participation) at the Museum. Two of the lectures will be for public audiences, and two for invited guests (educators, press, and community and religious leaders). Special interest groups having specific concerns about drug abuse and addiction will be identified. Their needs will be assessed, and then addressed in Special Interest Dinners at the Museum, that will include viewing of the play and exhibit, and a panel discussion with experts. Pamphlets, CDs, and slide/video sets will be produced. The programs and materials of the Partnership will serve as educational models, and will be disseminated by the Society for Neuroscience. All efforts will be evaluated.

科学素养的神经科学合作伙伴会旨在形成 神经科学协会与 波士顿科学博物馆。 第一个项目将是成人的努力 科学教育，哈佛医学上的成瘾分部 学校充当神经科学学会的代表。 合作伙伴关系的第一阶段将包括6个月的开发 期间，随后在科学博物馆进行了为期一年的计划。 期间 第二阶段，合作伙伴关系的产品将被广泛 由神经科学协会传播。 合作伙伴关系将计划一个多学科计划，该计划将提供 成年人对科学研究方法以及 教他们有关药物滥用，成瘾和A的神经生物学 合并症，抑郁症。 该程序将包括一个 两范围的多媒体游戏将提出重要的科学 与药物滥用，成瘾和抑郁症有关的问题，以及 基于CD-ROM的展览将教授这些神经生物学的基础 问题。 该剧将在博物馆剧院中进行60-80次 一年。 它将促进观众的参与，建立人类环境 有关与吸毒有关的科学问题，并激励观众 探索展览。 展览将包括一个大屏幕 高密度电视监视器显示连续运行的介绍 展览（一个带有静力和动画的照片CD程序）。 这 展览还将有10个站点，每个站都由一个面板组成 （工件和图形）和14英寸彩色电视监视器 显示CD-ROM，包含幻灯片，视频和动画电影的程序。 其中五个监视器将在以下内容上介绍背景信息 主题：1）药物（定义，类，来源，其他用途）； 2）细胞 通信（神经元结构，突触传播，药物受体 互动）； 3）相关神经解剖学（多巴胺能中脑奖励 与成瘾，甲肾上腺素能和血清素能途径相关的系统 与抑郁有关）； 4）成瘾（定义，概念，风险 因素，合并症，治疗方法）； 5）研究（ 科学方法及其在公共卫生中的作用）。 其余的监视器 将介绍有关以下药物或类别类别的信息： 酒精，尼古丁，可卡因，阿片类药物和大麻/致幻剂。 这 科学信息也将以4个讲座/幻灯片提供 博物馆的演讲（涉及观众参与）。 两个 讲座将用于公众观众，有两个为受邀客人提供 （教育工作者，新闻界以及社区和宗教领袖）。 特别的 对药物滥用和成瘾有具体担忧的利益集团 将被确定。 他们的需求将被评估，然后在 博物馆的特殊兴趣晚餐，其中包括观看 玩耍和展览，以及与专家的小组讨论。 小册子，CD， 并将生产幻灯片/视频集。计划和材料 伙伴关系将作为教育模式，并将被传播 神经科学协会。 所有努力将得到评估。
