I really enjoyed watching the Christmas Lectures by the Royal Institution all about the brain. In my opinion, the brain is one of the most fascinating parts of the human body. I have always wondered how different stimuli affect the brain in different ways, but this has opened up a new world of questions for me, as well as answering a few of course!
One of the parts that interested me the most was about how the memory works, particularly how association is so important When it comes to remembering. Seeing it in action, with the neurons and dendrites, was really useful, as it helped me to understand more about how the brain and memory work together. This should help me with my school work - I'll try not to let my brain 'prune back' any connections I may need once exams come round!
