The specific activities
14.03.2022 – BAW posters – a posters exhibition about the functional anatomy of the most important brain connections as: dopaminergic, cholinergic, serotoninergic, noradrenergic, reward and motor pathways.
15.03.2022 – BAW fact sheets – young students was prepared a classroom exhibition with fact sheets from Dana.org about how the scientist study the brain, how does the exercise affect your brain, how does the brain develop, how does the brain work, the addicted brain, right brain and left brain.
