Brain: The Inside Story closes at the Museum on Sunday, August 14, 2011
WHERE: American Museum of Natural History
Central Park West at 79th Street
WHAT: The human brain-the result of millions of years of evolutionary history-uses molecular, chemical, and electrical signals to interpret information, weigh decisions, and adapt at every stage of life.

The exhibition, which closes on August 14, brings visitors up to date on the latest in neuroscience, highlighting the brain's surprising ability to rewire itself in response to experience, disability, or trauma, and showcases new technologies that researchers use to study the brain and treat conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
