Title: Looking after your brain - new approaches to an
age-old problem.
Date: Tuesday 13th of November
Synopsis: How the brain works remains one of the great
unknowns of modern medicine. This is even more of an issue when it comes
to how the brain attempts to survive and recover from acute (stroke and trauma)
and chronic (neurodegeneration) injury.
This lecture will examine some of the revolutionary new approaches being
developed for brain protection in both the young and the old, and how we
as individuals can incorporate some of these measures into our everyday lives.
