Discover the gruesome history of neuroscience, check out the inner workings of animal brains and find out all about the remarkable things the brain can do. How fast can a thought travel? How do senses work? Why do we sleep? Find out the answers to these questions and many, many more.

Since 2014, Little House of Science have been using their fun after-school clubs, workshops and holiday camps to teach STEM-related subjects to children from age 3 to 12. They use their engaging, interactive approach to teach kids about space, biology, engineering, geology and loads of other subjects. They now present their first book, exploring the incredible wonders of the brain.
