Resumen:
The brain is our most intriguing organ. An important function
is to detect and interpret events taking place in the
environment through senses and command a response.
How are these processes seen from the eyes of children?
As imagination is their powerful tool, we proposed to sail in
the students? sea of marvellous theories. In this journey, we
showed them though games what scientists already know.
Framed around Brain Awareness Week 2018, an international
campaign to educate general public and to support
brain investigation, a group of researchers carried out the
fourth edition of ?Neuroscience of Senses visits the classrooms
of fourth grade.? This project, created and organised
by Nicola´s Unsain, was possible thanks to SAN financial support

through its annual call for BAW projects. In addition,CCT-CONICET Cordoba and the Ministry of Science and
Technology of Cordoba provided school contact, scheduling,
and transport. We visited 37 classrooms of 19 schools from
Cordoba city and six nearby towns. Before the visit, teachers
asked students to draw a neuroscientist, describe them,
and write questions they would like to ask. In the visit, we
displayed an interactive lecture mixed with exciting games.
Students participated actively asking questions and discussing
concepts acquired by their own experience. Finally, we
took a microscopic sight of the brain with immunolabeled
neurons and compared fixed caw and rat brains; activities
that allowed children to discover the role of brain.
