Mushrooms, Psychosis, & Drugs

Thank you OHSU Brain Institute (OBI) for yet another compelling season of Brain Awareness lectures at Portland’s Newmark Theater!

LEARN MORE: OBI Brain Awareness Lectures

NW Noggin is always thrilled to introduce our informed and enthusiastic neuroscience outreach volunteers to celebrated scientists discussing cutting edge research on the brain!

This year we welcomed a whopping 74 undergraduates studying neuroscience and psychology at Portland State University, thanks to the exceptional generosity of OBI’s Program Coordinator Kate Stout…

Just a fraction of the 74 Noggin Portland State volunteers invited to the Newmark Theater this spring!

We not only listened to the talks, but also examined brains, answered audience questions and explored the neuroanatomy, physiology and behavior presented on stage at each show!

Discover what we’ve learned about brains this spring, including details on the publicly funded research supporting these three lectures – at the links below!
