SEP Session 1, Day 8

Today two graduate students from UVA's Neuroscience department, visited "Imagination and Invention." They taught students about how different parts of the brain interact with our five senses and how the brain develops in different stages of life through synapses. After their presentation, the students got to touch different sections of human brains. They also saw a mouse brain and a sheep brain! The students asked so many great questions about the brain.

The graduate students show students a cross section of a human brain.
