WWU faculty members talk brain function with the community

Faculty members from Western Washington University's Behavioral Neuroscience Program and Biology and Psychology departments gather for monthly neighborhood round-table discussions, Neuroscience on Tap: Bring Your Own Brain (BYOB), at Bob's Burgers & Brew in downtown Bellingham.

At each meeting, a faculty member leads the discussion of a specific topic, from mental illness to food addiction to brain injury.

Here, Jackie Rose, an assistant professor in Westerns Psychology Department, presents "Thanks for the Memories: Memory Processes Across the Lifespan."

The next meeting will take place from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Feb. 1, with Kelly Jantzen, an assistant professor in Western’s Psychology Department, presenting “Monkey See Monkey Do! The Mirror Neuron Revolution.” More information about this event is available at http://news.wwu.edu/go/doc/1538/464591/.
