The brain " plastic " : one organ, many functions - March 16

Jean-Pol Tassin, Thérèse Jay, Michael Zugaro
The brain is our body's most mysterious and complex organ, a highly "plastic" organ, capable of adapting to the environment and managing multiple functions. Because of its complexity, it conceals many secrets that neuroscientists are still in the process of deciphering. These unknown mysteries make our brain the object of many questions and challenges: How do we form emotions and memories? What is learning? What is pleasure? And is fear harmful or useful?

In the historic setting of the Collège de France and with renowned neuroscientists, we offer an overview and debate on the most fascinating and mysterious functions of our brain.

Wednesday March 16, 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm
