脳科学のメカニズムを探究！理化学研訪問
6月中旬に5,6年生生徒が理化学研修所を訪問しました。以下、参加した生徒の報告（日本語＋英語）です！

In mid-June, we had the opportunity to visit the Riken Center for Brain Science and were given a tour around Professor Joshua Johansen’s lab. The main focus of the research being done was on how negative experiences affect neural circuits and memory formation. At Riken, we first listened to a presentation on the parts of a brain, how our brain processes fear, and how experiments were conducted on mice.
We were led to a museum with displays showing the size of brains in different animals, optical illusions to try out, and video displays explaining specific parts of the brain in more detail. Lastly, Professor Johansen took us on a tour through his lab, where we could look at the equipment being used, and learn more about the types of procedures done. Throughout the presentation and tour, students could ask questions about the research being done or why Professor Johansen chose to become a scientist- which helped us expand on our curiosity and knowledge, as well as gain a better understanding of how to choose a career.
