abriel Lobet, 14, a student at Culver City High School, uses an ophthalmoscope to examine the retinas of his mom, Elizabeth Calvin. He and other students from local middle and high schools examined their parents' brains Tuesday as part of a two-day course the teens are taking at UCLA designed to pique their interest in careers in neurology, neurosurgery and neuroscience. Equipped with lab coats, stethoscopes and other devices, the students performed neurological exams by testing knee-jerk reflexes, measuring pupil response, sounding a tuning fork to test their parents' hearing and measuring their blood pressure. The course is being offered by the UCLA Department of Neurosurgery and the UCLA Brain Injury Research Center.
