Life Science Lunch: The adaptive brain

How can the brain learn from experiences, and at the same time be stable enough to retain memories for decades? How does mental capacity change throughout life? Can oral infection be a risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease? At the seminar we will look more deeply into these questions.

Time and place: Dec. 11, 2015 12:15 PM – 1:00 PM, The Science Library, Vilhelm Bjerknes' hus
