Morphonix LLC Taps Kid Brainpower With ‘Every Body Has a Brain,’ a New Product Suite

For years, the brain was a slow-to-solve mystery for scientists and the public alike. But today it’s more a “marvel,” thanks to exciting research, technology and educational breakthroughs over the last decade. In fact, even children as young as four are now soaking up the brain’s secrets, thanks to Morphonix™ LLC (http://www.morphonix.com), a company devoted to using games to teach kids all about the brain.

Morphonix has been winning awards and national recognition throughout scientific, parenting and educational communities for entertaining media and technologies that teach children about the brain while simultaneously and uniquely tapping the parts being used to learn. Now, thanks to grant funding from The National Institute of Mental Health and impressive networks of support and talent, Morphonix has launched “Every Body Has a Brain,” a new product suite specifically designed for children ages 4 to 6.

“Morphonix approaches learning about the brain so subtly and invitingly, the players don’t even recognize they’re being taught,” says Dr. Floyd E. Bloom, professor emeritus at The Scripps Research Institute’s Molecular & Integrative Neuroscience Department. “Better yet, they seem to remember the details of what they’ve been through.”

“Every Body Has a Brain” delivers a vitally unique understanding and appreciation for this complex yet wonderful organ, according to Karen Littman, Morphonix’s founder/president. For instance, after playing a video game or singing along with the songs, kids easily spout cool facts about the cerebellum, remember to wear a helmet when biking, and know more about brain-nourishing foods.

“From the songs and stories to the music videos and games, ‘Every Body Has a Brain’ taps critical brainpower, from thinking simple thoughts to problem-solving and even following a future career in neuroscience,” she says. “Kids just get jazzed about the brain, respecting it more and using it better.”

“Every Body Has a Brain” is by design affordable, accessible and applicable to multiple technologies today. Morphonix offers everything from CDs to downloadable games and apps, not to mention the “Free Game and Song of the Week,” featured on the Morphonix website.
