Brain Mechanics – Discover a Whole New Direction in Brain Research!

How do mechanical forces influence the behavior and function of the brain?

At interactive stations, you can not only touch brain models and explore 3D scans but also examine real brain slices – uncovering the deep secrets of the human brain.

Paraffin sections of the nervous system, treated with various staining techniques, reveal cells and other microstructures in stunning detail.

Follow the fascinating development of the brain – from the neural plate to full maturity. Watch how a silicone brain in a jar – much like a real brain in the womb – transforms from a smooth surface into its characteristic folded shape.

Experience how research helps us better understand neurological diseases and gain exciting insights into the world of neuromechanics!
