Final Stop: The Temporal Lobe Station!
Our journey through the brain ends at the Temporal Lobe Station, home to your memory vault, where special moments, conversations, and favourite songs are stored! This part of the brain also helps us understand sounds, recognize faces, and even process emotions.

🧠🚆 The Brain Train has arrived at the Frontal Lobe Station!

It helps us plan, make decisions, solve problems, and control our emotions. It’s also responsible for movement and speech, making it one of the most important areas of the brain for day-to-day activities.

🚉 Today's stop: The Parietal Lobe Station! The parietal lobe helps us make sense of the world around us; it processes touch, temperature, and pain, helps us understand space and movement, and even plays a role in math and problem-solving!

🎯 Today’s stop: The Occipital Lobe Station!
This is where everything your eyes see gets processed, helping you recognize colors, shapes, and the world around you! 👀✨

Today's stop: The Cerebellum Station!
The cerebellum is like the brain’s movement maestro, it helps us stay balanced, coordinate our movements, and even fine-tune skills like riding a bike or dancing!

🧠 All aboard the Brain Train! 🚂 This week is Brain Awareness Week, and we’re taking you on an exciting journey through the brain! 🎉

Brain in Overdrive! ⚡

During a seizure, neurons send messages all at once—way faster than normal! It’s like a lightning storm inside the brain. ⚡💜

Did you know March is Epilepsy Awareness Month? At the Alberta Children's Epilepsy Program, we believe knowledge is power!

Imagine if your brain suddenly froze, repeated actions, or distorted reality—just like a screen glitch. For people with epilepsy, seizures can feel exactly like that. ⚡
