KUMPULA PHYSICS COLLOQUIUM ON 18.01.2019 AT 14.15 IN D101
Our first
Kumpula Physics colloquium of 2019 will take place on Friday. Our speaker is
Eero Castrén, Academy Professor with the Neuroscience Center of HiLIFE here in
Helsinki. His lab is investigating neuronal growth factors and their effects on
brain development and plasticity. They have focused in particular on how
neurotrophic factors are regulated by drugs used for the treatment of brain
disorders. In his talk, titled Everything you always wanted to know about the
Brain (but did not know whom to ask), he will introduce some of the current
ideas around brain function—particularly from the point of view of brain development.
The talk will last about 30 minutes, after which there will be a cocktail
reception. Welcome!
