On Wednesday, January 9, at the first Kellenberg STEM talk of the new year, Mr. Christopher O’Brien, an undergraduate student from Rutgers University, spoke to students about the brain. Health Sciences Club, S.T.E.M. Cluster, and Psychology Club all came to listen to Mr. O’Brien’s talk about psychology.
“Various fields were brought together to help topics that would later help them in their fields,” said senior Catie Sullivan.
Mr. O’Brien spoke about how the brain is also known as the computer and how each part of the brain functions. He further explained how certain parts of the brain control our reflexes, personality traits or how the prefrontal cortex controls our impulse control.
