Why does the brain have so many folds? And how does it actually control what we think and feel, how we move and how we speak? Prof. Dr Anja Bräuer from the Department for Human Medicine will take the KinderUni students on a journey of discovery into the body's control centre - the brain with its billions of nerve cells - on Wednesday, 14 March. By the end of this last KinderUni lecture of the spring semester, the eight to twelve-year-olds will not only know what axons and dendrites are, but also how nerve cells grow and find each other "in the dark". By the way: after the KinderUni is before the KinderUni: fans should mark 2 August in red in their diaries: That's when tickets for the three autumn lectures go on sale - excitement guaranteed.
