Detall

El proper 27 d'Abril a les 12h, l'Aula Magna del Campus Clínic acull el primer dels seminari del Cicle Continuat de Conferències de la Facultat de Medicina i Ciències de la Salut. 

El primer seminari del cicle porta per títol "Brain mechanisms in physiological and pathological cognitive processes" i estarà a càrrec del Dr. Arnau Busquets, Investigador Ramón i Cajal, amb afiliació a l'Institut Hospital del Mar d'Investigacions Mèdiques. 

Aquests seminaris, adreçats a tot el PDI de la Facultat de Medicina i Ciències de la Salut i els diferents centres de recerca de Barcelona, no requereixen inscripció prèvia per poder assistir-hi.

A continuació trobareu una breu sinopsi dels temes que abordarà el Dr. Busquets durant el seminari:

Dr. Arnau Busquets is a young researcher recently awarded with the prestigious ERC grant. During the talk, he will give us an overview of the two main research projects that are ongoing in his lab. First, he will show unpublished and preliminary data regarding the involvement of cannabinoid receptors in the development of cognitive phenotypes and alterations associated with Alzheimer's disease. Second, he will highlight the preliminary findings regarding a project where they are studying the behavioural and neurobiological substrates that determine higher-order conditioning processes. In this project, his team is interested in discovering which brain circuits regulate these processes in the normal brain and in different pathologies. In this sense, Dr. Busquets will discuss the possibility to use higher-order conditioning paradigms as new behavioral tasks for studying positive psychotic effects in animal models.

Us hi esperem!
