Can we repair the brain? A neuroscientific perspective.

Описание: In this video I go over the neuroscientific field of neuronal transplantation. After disease or injury, the brain is unable to regenerate the lost neurons and depending on the brain areas affected, functional abilities are lost. In an attempt to repair the damage neuroscientists are researching neuronal replacement therapies to replace the lost neurons. One of these therapies is neuronal transplantation.

Who am I?
I am a neuroscientist with a PhD in neuroscience from the University of Zurich and currently hold a position as a Marie Curie postdoctoral fellow in Munich. I am interested in anything related to the brain and in this channel I will explore different neuro topics and share some science advice that I found useful in my academic life so far.

Your input is much appreciated. I am currently in the early stages of posting on youtube and I recognise that I have much to improve. If you would like to suggest any topics you are interested in or tips for general improvement feel free to leave a comment under the video or contact me on my email [email protected]. I am already working on the next video, so see you next week! :)
