About
Curious about the emerging frontiers of neuroscience, and how your brain controls blood flow and protects itself from harm? In this session, I'll share what I learned at the Harvard Summer Research Institute while studying astrocytes (special brain cells that help regulate the blood-brain barrier. We'll explore how calcium signals shape brain health and discuss what it's like doing real neuroscience in high school. No continued attendance or prior experience needed, just bring your curiosity!
