he Northeast PA Brain Bee encourages high school students to study the brain and how it relates to intelligence, memory, emotions, sensations, movements, stress, aging, sleep and brain disorders. University of Scranton Neuroscience Program Director and Brain Bee organizer, J. Timothy Cannon, Ph.D., states, "Every year the level of competition in our regional Bee increases. This indicates that the Bee is succeeding in promoting knowledge, and hopefully interest, in the field of neuroscience."
