Myths of the Brain Scientific Talk | SF

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Learn about the human brain at 8 pm at Kells Irish Bar on Monday, January 7, 2013.

Do we only have a limited number of non-renewable brain cells –and is it true that we only use 10 percent of them? Do we really need eight hours of uninterrupted sleep every night? And is Alzheimer’s inevitable? Is marijuana bad for your brain? What about alcohol, a known toxin?

Science writer Judith Horstman will talk about your amazing brain, dispelling myths and revealing fascinating facts from her four popular Scientific American books.
