Kids can
pick their brain as the Washington State University’s Program in
Neuroscience celebrates Brain Awareness Week with hands-on
activities to help kids understand the importance and function of
their brain, Tuesday, March 4, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the WSU Ensminger
Ag Pavilion in Pullman.
As part of The Amazing Brain presentation, the
program will encourage the children to use their brains in creative
problem solving and activity stations. To learn about the sizes,
shapes and structures of the brain - from the human brain to the brain
of a mouse, the children will judge brain models developed by
undergraduate students in the Neurophysiology course. The elementary
students will judge each model and a winning model will be announced
at the conclusion of the event. The brain models will cover a variety
of topics including brain electrical currents, the blood brain
barrier, action potentials, neurons, hearing, taste, and memory.
Neuroscience faculty and student volunteers from WSU will be on hand
to assist kids with the activities as part of their partnership in the
Brain Awareness Week campaign which is sponsored by the Society for Neuroscience, the
Dana Alliance
for Brain Initiatives, and the National Kids Judge! Partnership
(funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse).
