The Brain Diaries exhibit at Oxford's Natural History Museum is now live through the end of the year.

Throughout your life, your brain undergoes extraordinary changes. Fascinating physical developments in your brain unlock each new chapter as you grow. With billions of neurons and trillions of connections, your brain responds to your experiences to make you the person you are.


The Brain Diaries exhibition and event programme reveal how the latest neuroscience is transforming what we know about our brains, from birth to the end of life. The exhibition runs until 1 January 2018.
