Whether
it's a fly dodging a fly swatter, your houseplant growing
toward the sunlit window or you hopping out of the way
of a bike on the sidewalk, all living things react to
the world around them. Use your brain to find out about
animal nervous systems and discover how how hormonal systems

react.

Examine
the real brain of a fish, pelican, cat and monkey,

Senses
Float
like a bat and see like a bee in this exhibit, where
you can use bat radar to locate prey and peer through
the eyes of a model bee head to experience this
insect's ultraviolet vision.
Under
the Influence
Take
a test drive to see how alcohol affects driving
skills and reflexes.
