4/7 Week Ten: Navigation
Oh Yeah it's Week 10!
Hello! Can you believe it's already Week 10?
We've made it halfway through the semester, and I want to thank everyone for your dedication and participation in class!
We learned about the different types of intelligence and ways to optimize our intelligence.
This week we will study the two types of memory systems involved in navigation and how the brain takes in and organizes spatial information about the environment. We will take a trip inside the brain to see what's going on when we are exploring new surroundings.

Please note that our Tuesday and Thursday classes will continue via Zoom as usual. However, I want to emphasize that attendance in person is entirely optional. For those unable to make it to the JCC or who would instead participate remotely, we will also continue to host our regular Zoom session.
