Noggin poster with comments from the British International School in Gaza: We're proud to share this powerful feature from Noggin (NW Noggin) and Neurochem Lab, showcasing our collaboration with scientists and educators from Portland State University, the University of Texas at Dallas, and Oregon Health & Science… Continued comments from the British International School in Gaza: Through this initiative, our BISG students explored the fascinating world of the human brain, crafted neurons from materials available around them, and shared meaningful reflections on resilience, trauma, and creativity. Despite challenges, our students continue to connect, learn, and express themselves through science and art; proving that education and imagination truly know no boundaries. A heartfelt thank-you to all the inspiring scientists, artists, and educators who made this collaboration possible.

Section of neural mural of the hippocampus at PSU - 3rd floor skybridge between Cramer & Smith Mural signage: Mural inspired by the drawings of Santiago Ramón y Cajal, an artist and founder of the field of neuroscience. These are the cells and circuits of the hippocampus, a brain region essential for creating memories. Your hippocampus links this current moment with related experiences from your past. What are you reminded of as you follow the neural pathways above? What forgotten landscape, what long-lost story, is called home by the beauty of these striking, vital connections?
