Inside every adolescent brain, 86 billion neurons connect and collide to produce the most frustrating, chaotic and exhilarating changes that will ever happen to us.
#LYTMindYourHead
Lyceum Youth Theatre and Traverse Young Writers present Mind Your Head, a double bill of performances which examines the hot topic of mental wellbeing for young people today.
Each evening show will feature Brainstorm, exploring the complexities of the adolescent brain in a unique performance conceived by a playwright, a neuroscientist and partially devised by the LYT cast themselves.
Brainstorm will be paired with a selection of short scenes by the Traverse Young Writers who have responded to themes of the science and biology behind emotions, and nature verses nurture
What does happiness mean? Is it material or emotional? Controlled by circumstances or temperament?

El MUNCYT acoge Big Neurona, un museo móvil interactivo con forma de neurona gigante. Esta instalación ha sido inaugurada por el alcalde de A Coruña, Don Xulio Ferreiro. Big Neurona es un laberinto de espejos en el que se muestran las diferentes partes que componen las neuronas y se realizan juegos y otras actividades. Estará abierta al público desde el 22 de enero al 26 de junio

Memory is created in the hippocampus, a part of the brain. Exercising creates a protein called neurotrophins. These help develop and maintain the function of neurons, which is what the brain is made of. The purpose of this experiment is to improve memory. There will be six rats, three for exercise and the other three will not exercise. The dependent variable will be the memory and will be tested by the decreasing time it takes the rats to exit the maze. The independent variable is the amount of exercise the three tested rats will receive and will be measured by speed and time on a treadmill. It is anticipated that the rats who receive exercise will exit the maze much quicker than the ones who do not. A decrease in time in all the rats will be expected, because they will get used to the maze. This will mean that being physically active, on a regular basis, could lead to a decrease in the number of Dementia and Alzheimer’s patients.
