Human Brains
Join us at the Neuroscience Fair! Ever wondered what a real human brain looks like? At this unforgettable station, you’ll get to examine preserved human brain specimens along with plastic models, skulls, and brain sections showing disease and anatomy. Learn how the brain’s wrinkles help it fit inside our skull, why it’s not pink anymore, and how it compares to brains from other species. This is a rare opportunity to see the organ that makes you... you.
