Brain Facts

This booklet may be downloaded from
The Society for Neuroscience (link requires Adobe Acrobat Reader).

You can also request FREE copies of the booklet from the Society.
These should be available in November.
.

Registrant numbers dictate that,
like the National Bee, a multiple choice exam
will be used to choose those students who
will go on to the oral portion of the local Bee.
The same procedure was followed in 2005.
These directions have been posted throughout the registration period.
