Peering into the Brain, What Do We See?
New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science
6:30 PM - 8:00 PM
2018-2019 Lecture Series “The Brain: It’s More than you Think”
The brain is a highly evolved complex opaque tissue, How the brain works to perceive the environment, process information, and coordinate responses remains a mystery. New approaches to imaging the brain at work while interacting with the environment include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Join Dr. Bearer as she describes new research on the brain’s response to life-threatening fear, how that may evolve to post-traumatic stress, and how Alzheimer’s disease affects memory.
