It is the European year of the Brain and the British Science Association have made the Brain their theme for May.
The speaker at Monday’s (12th May) Cafe Scientifique meeting will be Dr Katrin Deinhardt, Lecturer in Neuroscience, Centre for Biological Sciences, Southampton.
The title for her talk – which starts at 7pm – is “Home of memories and more – discovering the wonder world of the healthy brain”.
Katrin will discuss some general facts and properties of the brain, and of “memory”, and talk about big challenges and recent advances in trying to understand it.

Donation entry
As we have to pay a rent for the facilities, we have to ask for a donation of at least £3 on the door to make sure we cover all our expenses. i.e. the rent, cost of speakers’ travel expenses and a meal, plus overnight accommodation if needed.
Next month’s talk is all about chocolate! We’ll remind you nearer the time, but if it’s a subject you’re interested in, mark it in your diary for 9th June.
