The students delivered a fun and interactive neuroscience presentation to educate the 8th grade learners on basic brain anatomy and physiology.

The Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives provided interactive handouts, booklets and pencils to support the event. The Department of Pharmacology donated sheep brains to enhance the hands-on learning experience for the 8th grade students.
