WHAT: Noggin Tuesdays @ p:ear!

We did it!

Questions on zombies, sleep, humor, ear worms, and the role of various brain regions. We painted sections of the brain based on functional associations (e.g., graffiti “tags” could belong in the temporal lobe, for visual object recognition 🙂

Tagging the temporal lobe

WHERE: p:ear, 338 NW 6th Ave., Portland, OR 97209

WHEN: Tuesday, May 8, 2018, 9:30 – 11:30am

Noggin is returning to P:ear, a remarkable Portland organization aimed at building positive relationships with homeless and transitional youth through education, art and recreation to affirm their personal worth and help them create more meaningful and healthier lives…

We are excited to communicate science through the extraordinary volunteer efforts of our talented graduate and undergraduate Noggin participants from Portland State University, Oregon Health & Science University, the Pacific Northwest College of Art, and other collaborators.!

Learning about the brain, and behavior, and the evidence-based structural and functional aspects of who we are is powerful and actionable information for everyone, including young people struggling, like many, with anxiety, depression, drugs, chronic stress  –  and the poverty, isolation, racism, homophobia, lack of affordable housing and other factors that can impact development.
