Brain Week : March 15 and 16 2015 at the Collège de France

Every year, the Société des Neurosciences organizes Brain Week in partnership with the Dana Alliance and the Federation pour la Recherche. This nationwide event is designed to inform the general public about recent discoveries in the field of neuroscience. Various conferences, debates and exhibitions will be held in Paris, in particular at the Collège de France.

Thursday, March 15, 2015 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m

  • Collège de France

Exhibition, meeting and conference on the following themes :

  1. Spatial location and associated memory disorders
  2. Parkinson's disease and neurostimulation therapy

How do we orient ourselves, what clues do we use to find our way, how is space memorized in our brain, what are the cerebral alterations responsible for the motor disorders of Parkinson's disease, and how can intracerebral electrical stimulation correct these disorders ? Researchers from the Collège de France's Institut de Biologie and from laboratories at the Salpêtrière University Hospital will share their knowledge on these questions, with the help of films and discussions with the public.
