We will have two exciting neuroscience lectures: one at 11:45am and another at 1:00pm. Additionally, we will have lab tours & a histology workshop scheduled every 30 minutes beginning at 11:30am. Students that complete a series of questions from each booth will be entered into a drawing that occurs every 45min for a chance to win cool brain models! All other booths and workshops are go-at-your-own pace and include:
- Real human brains!
- Visual illusions
- Sensory illusions
- Muscle spindle reflexes
- Cerebellar reflexes
- Light & fluorescent microscopy
- Careers in neuroscience
- And many more!
