As healthy adult humans, we spend most of our time thinking about the past and planning for the future: mental time travel is what we do for a living. We are not born with this ability, however. As part of Brain Awareness Week, Professor Nicky Clayton will review how we develop those skills as well as the extent to which we share these abilities with other animals.
Nicky Clayton isn't just a scientist, she's also a dancer! Why not check out her Science Meets Dance Workshop before the lecture.
