Abstract:
White poster with black and white lettering. Title at top of poster. Central image on poster is an illustration of a human head against a light blue backgroud, with part of the brain exposed and the left eye emphasized. Dotted lines extend up the left cheek, outlining a faint gold triangle. The left eye is superimposed on the triangle and enclosed in a pale green circle, looking a bit like a monocle. The triangle reaches a point just as it meets the brain. The brain is shown in yellow, with dotted lines emerging from the brain and leading to the edge of the blue background. This image is surrounded by a rainbow-spectrum frame. The frame has eyes and lips in the corners. There is a significant amount of text on the poster. The text explains some brain functions and disorders and the type of research underway to more fully understand those. Additional thumbnail images include several PET scans, graphs, an inheritance tree, and two illustrations of molecular processes.
