July Webinar
Topic: Brain Imaging & Mood
Date: 14 July 2021
Time: 12 noon (1 hour)
This webinar will explore how
adaptable the brain is and what neuroscience research is telling us about the
experience of moods. Brain scans let us look at the structure or architecture
of the brain and how it is functioning while we think or feel emotions.
Discoveries about how the brain develops and changes and how we can impact
that, are important to understanding the experience of mood disorders.
Speaker:
Dr
Dara Cannon, Neuroscientist, researcher and lecturer at NUI
Galway. Dara is a neuroscientist who drinks too much tea, runs
about after her kids, and spends a lot of time thinking about the brain. She
teaches human brain anatomy to the students in medicine and science at NUI
Galway and runs a small laboratory using brain scanning to understand mood and
anxiety disorders and collaborates with other academics internationally on
these questions.
