Take A Walk Through The Brain At Doylestown Library

DOYLESTOWN, Pa. — If you think the giant heart at the Franklin Institute is pretty cool, you'll want to check out MEGA Brain.

The giant walk-through inflatable brain from the DaVinci Science Center is coming to the Bucks County Free Library’s Doylestown branch on June 30 as part of a "Use Your Brain Science Celebration." And families are invited to spend an unforgettable morning learning about the human brain.

Drop in any time between 10 a.m. and noon to walk through the 12-foot inflatable model, which
illustrates brain anatomy and function, as well as common neurological diseases and treatments.

Participants will enter through the frontal lobe, which is responsible for personality and higher cognitive functions, and exit through the cerebellum, the portion of the brain that controls balance and coordination. Along the way, they will learn about stroke, addiction, and other common brain conditions; how to keep your brain healthy; and the latest medical treatments for brain trauma and disease.

After walking through the MEGA Brain, kids can challenge themselves with puzzles, games, and experiments that illustrate the complex human nervous system. Families can also examine a dissected sheep brain and have an up-close encounter with a real human brain.

Registration is not required. The free Summer Quest event is open to all and is ideal for children ages 5 to 13. The Doylestown branch of Bucks County Free Library is located at 150 South Pine Street in Doylestown Borough.
