The Brain.
The third grade Odyssey students at Windsor have been learning about the brain and it's many parts: frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, occipital lobe and more! They learned how a neuron makes connections and the difference between a chemical and electrical reaction. Wow! And along with that, Dr. Kathy Neacy came and spoke with the students about the brain. She covered the structure and function of the brain (and their differences), how memories are made and kept, how encoding works, taught us how to "read" MRIs and even showed us a real skull. What a great "in-house" field trip.

Medical School 101. Hopefully, one of these wonderful children will go into medicine and find the cure for cancer....would not surprise me one bit.

Thank you to Dr. Neacy for sharing your time and expertise with the group.
