The Power and Potential of the Brain

Recent discoveries in neuroplasticity reveal the incredible potential of the brain to change throughout life. Join the OHSU Brain Institute as it celebrates 10 years of Brain Awareness activities.
The 2009 OHSU Brain Awareness Season Lecture Series will explore the power and potential of the brain, featuring the country’s top researchers and authors specializing in this field.

"The Brain Awareness lecture in Portland was unlike anything I have attended elsewhere in the country. Usually these are afternoon lectures in a university classroom with a few students and some interested faculty. In Portland, Brain Awareness is a community event. For the evening lecture people from all backgrounds filled the largest church in town with many standing in the balcony. The enthusiasm of this crowd gave me a new awareness of what this celebration could be." - Thomas Insel, M.D., Director, National Institute of Mental Health, guest lecturer
