Master Class: Your 21st Century Brain December 16, 2010

This is the first offering in the Museum's new adult education series: a master class led by the scientists behind the special exhibition 'Brain: The Inside Story.' The evening will begin with presentations about the latest research in neuroscience by Rob DeSalle, curator in the Division of Invertebrate Zoology; Joy Hirsch, director of the Program for Imaging & Cognitive Sciences at Columbia University; and neuroscientist psychoanalyst Maggie Zellner of The Rockefeller University. Participants will then have the opportunity to join the conversation about all things brain, from the current understanding of neural evolution to the latest in brain-imaging technology. Light refreshments will be served.
