As part of Brain Awareness Week neuroscientists from Glasgow and Strathclyde Universities will be meeting the public at the Glasgow Science Centre to 'boost brain awareness'.

They will be holding demonstrations, displaying models, specimens and jigsaws to help members of the public gain a better awareness of how the brain works. Researchers will also be available to talk about their own research into brain injury, repairing the brain and spinal cord, schizophrenia, drug addiction, sleep and what makes your body clock tick.

The event will be held in the Materials Discovery area on the second floor of the GSC and is open to everyone paying the normal entrance fee.
