Public Remarks:

By Author/Submitter
This resource has several interactive features that are intertwined.

Note that the "Mouse Party" interactive simulates experiments to understand the effects of street drugs on the reward pathway in the brain.

This web lesson contains interactive parts, for example describing a two-dimensional shape or answering questions to help the mouse Mr. Mumble.
