To celebrate the official launch and countdown to ITAKOM next year we organised a free public lecture in collaboration with EICC on 24th March 2022.
Three world renowned brain health experts took us on a guided tour of the Beautiful Brain.
We learnt how brains grow from infancy to adulthood, covering areas such as: how neuroscience can help us understand the minds of children and how our experiences, genes and environment shape our brains.
It was, according to the EICC, the most popular EICC Live event to date!
Watch the recorded lectures below, as well as the Panel discussion. Happy viewing!
James Boardman, Professor of Neonatal Medicine at University of Edinburgh and consultant neonatologist in the NHS.
Hillary Richardson, Lecturer in the School of Philosophy, Psychology and Language Sciences at University of Edinburgh
