Hungry Hungry Neurons
Join us at the Neuroscience Fair! Ever wonder how your brain knows when it’s time to eat or when to stop? At this science-meets-gameplay station, you’ll play a twist on Hungry Hungry Hippos to explore how your body’s chemical messengers talk to your brain. It’s a fun, active way to learn how hormones shape behavior, appetite, and brain-body communication. Come feed your neurons and your curiosity!
