Long range connections in the brain
This video shows white matter tracts, the long-range connections of the human brain. The tracts are revealed here through a MRI-based method known as ‘diffusion tensor imaging’ or DTI. The video is based on data produced by Dr Satrajit Ghosh at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT.
“Fear, Trauma, and Memory: A Panel Discussion”
How accurate are our memories after a traumatic event? Does chronic stress make us more vulnerable to trauma? Will scientists one day succeed in preventing PTSD?
We invite you to join the discussion with a distinguished group of experts who will explore new lines of research and treatment strategies for stress disorders and traumatic memory. On Monday, April 7th, McGovern Institute director Bob Desimone will moderate a panel of experts and will engage the audience in a Q&A session. This event is free and open to the public, but registration is required. We hope you will join us!
