This lecture course will present leading
research from Trinity College Institute of
Neuroscience. The research is driven by an
improved understanding of the brain’s ability to
repair itself, and the increasing success of

treatments to engineering solutions. The area is
in particular focus presently, because of the
increase in neurodegenerative diseases in line
with the ageing population.
Topics include: stimulating the brain − healing
the mind; stem cells and neurodegeneration;
stimulating the human brain using computers;
the use of MRI in neuroscience research.
