Brain Science with the McGovern Institute

Join us as we kick off Brain Awareness Week with this special drop-in session.

Compare brain samples under our microscopes and create your own brain hat! Experience interactive demonstrations with scientists Dr. Jamal Williams and Dr. Chaoyi Zhang from MIT’s McGovern Institute about their latest discoveries in brain science, such as how music activates the brain and affects memory and how gene mutations that cause autism are studied in the lab. Meet neuroscientist Jessica Chomik-Morales, creator of the Spanish neuroscience podcast Mi Última Neurona.
