Synopsis

The systems of the body have the Brain as their main leader: it controls everything we feel and do.

Is eating good for the brain?
Is sleeping a waste of time?
Does the brain decide if i’m happy or sad?
How does the heart beat?

We’ll be exploring these and many other questions in this art & science workshop, dedicated to the functioning of the various bodily systems.

A workshop designed by neuroscientists from the Centre for Neuroscience & Cellular Biology, part of the International Week of the Brain in partnership with Marionet – Associação Cultural and Câmara Municipal de Coimbra / Convento São Francisco.
