About
Have you ever wondered why your brain does what it does? 🧠 Each week, I’ll dive into one part of the brain and explain what it does in a simple, fun way. Understanding your brain helps us understand ourselves better – how we think, feel, and act – and can even help you become a better student 📚 by showing how you learn, focus, and process information. I’ll share tips 💡, explain real-world phenomena 🌎, and connect everything to everyday life, including how music 🎵 affects the brain.
You can expect interactive sessions with chances to ask questions ❓, share ideas 💬, and join discussions. Each session will end with a Kahoot 🎮 to review what we learned and keep it engaging. My goal is to make neuroscience approachable and help you see the brain in a whole new way! 🌟
