AB Neuroscience is not just for neuroscientists. It is for everyone, but it is absent from our high schools. High schools have a huge investment in STEM, but do not include neuroscience, even though neuroscience is more interesting and relevant to a person’s daily life than most other sciences. However, neuroscience opportunities are increasing for teenagers outside the standard curriculum.Significance StatementThe neuroscience community and the education community must provide more opportunities in neuroscience education for teenagers.
