Your Moving Mind | Science Matters Features

When you think about moving, what comes to mind? Most of us think about using our muscles. But what tells your muscles to move? Your brain! Join Dr. Catherine Franssen, a resident scientist at the Science Museum of Virginia, as we investigate how your brain senses the outside world and helps you walk, run, swim and toss a ball. Movement can even make your brain think better! Along the way, we will explore the different areas of your brain and create a model brain out of dough.
