Description: |
The human brain is the most complicated thing in the known universe, so studying it presents a formidable challenge. This talk describes how neuroscientists study the brain and the key things we've learned. We now understand that your brain defines who you are; it underlies your awareness, your moods, and your personality. But how do we know this? We have learned that the brain processes information using circuits composed of brain cells. But what does it mean for a brain cell to "process" information? This talk explains how a wide range of experiments, from people to insects, provide answers to these questions. Presenter: Rob Campbell, Ph.D., is a Custer Member and a neuroscientist working at Cold Spring Harbor Lab, NY. Rob is currently studying how flies smell the world around them. |
