Mind Change: How 21st Century Technology is Leaving its Mark on Our Brains
Humans occupy more ecological niches than any other species on the planet because of the superlative ability of our brains, compared with those of any other animal, to adapt to the environment. Although a generic and standardized part of the human body, the brain becomes highly personalized post-natally by the development of unique configurations of connections between the brain cells that characterize the growth of the human brain after birth, personalizing it into a ‘mind’ that is in constant dialogue with the environment.
5.30pm Registration; 6pm start in the Jackson Lecture Theatre, Minerva Building, Brayford Campus.
