Subject: Chat with a Neuroscientist tomorrow
Date: Wed, 3 Dec 1997 14:06:03 -0800 (PST)
Hi all, We've scheduled an unusual chat that I think would be of interest to many whether or not you are participating in NeurOn (though I hope you are!) It's unusual for two reasons: 1. The expert is not part of the NASA team. The brain and nervous system are so complex that it seems appropriate to spend a little time discussing the normal brain function before we get too deep into discussing it's function in space. Wally Welker is a neuroscientist with a passion for learning about and sharing information on how the brain works. He has graciously volunteered his time to be with us. 2. The time: Usually our chats are scheduled to maximize classroom participation from coast to coast. By special request, this one has been scheduled at 1:00 p.m.Pacific Time so individuals (both teachers and students) can ask questions to better understand some of the "differences" the Neurolab studies set out to observe. We sure hope you can join us. Take a couple of minutes to register before the chat begins so you don't miss anything: http://quest.arc.nasa.gov/neuron/chats#chatting See you? I hope so! Linda
