So today I spent my day in Oxford at the ginormous John Radcliffe Hospital in their Brain Bank for part of the Brain Awareness Week.
It was a fab day, really interesting and full of information. Getting to see human brains and the differences between healthy and diseased brains, getting to see what happens to donated brains - I can't rave about it enough!
I should probably say my Final Major Project has taken me down the route of the brain and that is why I've accumulated this new interest. But even without my project being about the brain, everything I'm learning is of huge interest to me - and things I think everyone should learn about.
There is so much going on over the next week, I'm gutted I just don't have the time or funds to go to them all! But do check them out, something for all ages! UK events Oxford events
I'm looking forward to stretching my brain over the research to come, and hope the Brain Bank gets more donated brains to continue their thoroughly fascinating research! (I just have to mention) Who are especially hoping for autistic brains to further their knowledge of the disorder as has been the case with parkinsons and alzheimers in the past.
