As part of Brain Awareness Week 2014 my colleague, a neuroscientist, Kamila Szulc and I presented on the benefits of movement for the brain and learning.
The event was held at the the NYU Child Study Center. Many people came out and it was a lot of fun!

I was fortunate to speak about my favorite learning enhancement tool, Brain Gym
Kamila shared the latest and very interesting findings on the beneficial effects of physical exercise for the brain in many different populations of people. She talked about studies in kids with brain tumors, people with clinical depression and older adults.
She even brought us a real, plastinated human brain to touch and look at!
It's amazing to contemplate all the things that this brain and all of our brains do!
Kamila always says that she too wants to donate her brain to science, both literally and figuratively.

The people who stayed after were also able to touch this amazing human brain!
Thank you Kamila and thank you also to everyone who came out to learn about how to Jump Start Your Brain with Exercise!
