A public talk by Prof. Vincenzo Crunelli (in English)
Within the Malta Brain Awareness Week
How does a 1.3 Kg mass of wet grey tissue (the brain) succeed in representing the external world so beautifully? In this talk, eminent neuroscientist Vincenzo Crunelli of Cardiff University School of Bioscience will take the audience through a journey of discoveries that have helped us to understand how the rhythms of electrical oscillations in the brain gives rise to consciousness and sleep and how failures in these rhythms can lead to a variety of brain disorders, including epilepsy.
The talk, part of the Brain Awareness Week, will be introduced by Professor Giuseppe Di Giovanni, Coordinator of the Malta Neuroscience Network.
Professor Vincenzo Crunelli has been recently appointed as Senior Researcher Adviser in the Department of Physiology and Biochemistry of the University of Malta.
