S7779: The meat that makes you think: Neuroanatomy & Sheep Brain Dissection in Splash! 2013 (Nov. 23 - 24, 2013)
Every thought, emotion, and desire you have is generated by your brain – join us to learn about the meat that lets you think! We'll do a crash course in neuroanatomy and each student will dissect a real sheep brain! We’ll learn about how the brain is organized, with an eye towards function. As we each dissect our sheep brain, we’ll talk about the macroanatomy (the gyri and sulci, tracts and nuclei that you can see with the naked eye). We’ll discuss major landmarks and what they do. We’ll talk both about what the field knows, and what is unknown, in the growing and exciting field of neuroscience! Hope to see you there!
