Faculty, students and staff from the Bowles Center for Alcohol Studies hosted \u201cThe Brain Lab\u201d at the North Carolina Museum of Life + Science, Durham, NC on March 14 \u2013 19, 2011. The event was planned and coordinated by Dr. Donita Robinson as part of the Education Core of the UNC Alcohol Research Center. The interactive exhibit engaged visitors of all ages in neuroscience with the goals of increasing scientific literacy, enthusiasm for science, and awareness of brain health. Multiple stations were set up within the lab space, including brain model puzzles, hands-on rat brain dissections, sheep and human brain specimens, and histological brain sections to view with a microscope. \"Brain<\/span><\/p>\n


Activities were hands-on and student-directed. As a backdrop to the lab on a large screen, a video illustrated how MRI can be used to image human and rodent brains, and included a virtual journey through a mouse brain to individual neurons (http:\/\/wholebraincatalog.org\/<\/a>). Age-appropriate pamphlets and puzzle books on the brain and neuroscience research were provided by the Dana Foundation (http:\/\/www.dana.org\/brainweek\/<\/a>) and distributed at the event. A \u201cpreview\u201d exhibit occurred on December 30, 2010. Over 750 museum visitors came through \u201cThe Brain Lab\u201d during the December and March exhibits. In addition, 39 scientists and professionals volunteered to staff the event.
