During the second Brain Power!mission, the students learn about the major parts of the brain and their functions. They learn about different techniques used to study the brain— Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan, Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)—and discuss what each can tell us about the brain and its functioning. The students also learn about the work of brain researchers.
