Cell Types in the Brain

ABOUT THIS PRODUCT:

The brain is an incredibly complex organ and is responsible for regulating almost everything within our body. It allows us to form complex thoughts, read, write, move, breathe, play sports, and listen to music. It does this through a network of cells working together to function.

The objective of the experiment is for students to examine the differences between cell types in the brain based on their profiles of proteins.
