Enhancing the future of brain regeneration
The brain is the most mysterious and fascinating organ in our body: it controls and coordinates voluntary functions, such as movement, and involuntary functions, such as the beating of the heart; hosting cognition and emotions, it is responsible for who we are. How can a small organ serve all these complex and coordinated functions? The secret is in its organization, similar to a large metropolis, where interconnected functional maps reside, organized according to our experience.
A brilliant conference about mapping the brain and its functions "Le vie del cervello sono infinite/The (path)ways of the Brain are Infinite" was held 1st November 6pm at Genoa Science Festival, in the historical Palazzo della Borsa, address via XX Settembre 44
The event was organized in collaboration with Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia and a group of HERMES consortium members' researchers:
Gabriella Panuccio (IIT, Italy)
Gemma Palazzolo (IIT, Italy)
Eve McGlynn (meLab at the University of Glasgow, UK)
Jari Hyttinen (Tampere University, FIN)
Ángel Canal Alonso (Instituto de Investigación Biomédica de Salamanca - IBSAL, ES)
