Did you know that the average human brain weighs about 1,400
grams (3 lbs.)? That's just one of the many things I learned
on my visit to the new brain exhibit, The Cranium Connection,
at the Poe Cente in Raleigh. The Poe Center provides health
education programs for preschoolers, school-age children and
adults in five different areas of health:
- nutrition,
- dental health,
- general health,
- family life and
- drug education.
Their new exhibit, Cranium Connection, is an
interactive, walk-in brain exhibit that will give you the
opportunity to learn about and explore the wonders of the
brain.
During my visit I learned that by the age of
2 years old, the brain is about 80% of the adult size-that's
pretty amazing, isn't it?
I also learned that there are different lobes
of the brain that are important in allowing you to perform
different functions; like the temporal lobe of the brain is
important for hearing.
You can sure learn a lot about your body when
you visit the Poe Center
for Health Education!
Off to another great place!
Now that you know about this super-duper place,
I'm sure you will want to visit.
