View Brains Rule! Video

Brains Rule! is a fun, interactive learning experience for seventh-graders sponsored by the Center for Behavioral Neuroscience, The Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives, and Zoo Atlanta.

ABOUT THE EXPO

Brain Awareness Month (BAM) in Atlanta has become famous for CBN’s annual Brain Expo. In partnership with Zoo Atlanta, CBN reaches thousands during the spring Exposition, the largest public education event of its type in the country.

At the Expo, children and adults alike learn about the brain and behavior through interactive booths on a range of topics from brain anatomy to learning and memory.

CBN educator and exposition director, Kyle Frantz, PhD, is pleased that the event continues to grow. “It’s great to see more people coming specifically to this event each year. Visitors appear as excited about our booths as they are about the animals at the zoo.”

Frantz credits the Expo’s success to the enthusiasm and work of the many volunteers, including undergraduates, graduate students and professional scientists. “They truly inspire interest in neuroscience among students and the public,” Frantz said.

The Expo is sponsored locally by the Center for Behavioral Neuroscience and Zoo Atlanta. National organizations that support the Expo include the Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives and a 2007 Public Education Outreach Initiatives Grant from the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology.
