SUMMARY:Advances in Brain Research
DESCRIPTION:Despite recent scientific breakthroughs in understanding how th
 e human brain works, much remains unknown about the ‘most complex machine i
 n the universe’, as the brain is often called. With nearly 100 billion neur
 ons and 100 trillion connections, the human brain controls all body functio
 ns from breathing to sensory processing and motor skills, but is also respo
 nsible for memory, speech and emotion. Furthering the understanding of the 
 brain requires an ambitious effort across many diverse scientific disciplin
 es.It is not only a fascinating endeavour for basic science, brain research
  also helps address some of the greatest challenges in medicine such as str
 oke, brain tumours, degenerative disorders and psychiatric conditions. Mode
 rn neuroscience tools and technologies as well as promising new research av
 enues, such as brain organoids, yield unprecedented opportunities and creat
 e significant progress in the quest to understanding the human brain.\n\nTh
 e 7th KAST-Leopoldina Bilateral Symposium will bring together renowned scie
 ntists from South Korea and Germany to explore current trends and latest re
 sults in brain research as well as discuss new ways to treat, cure, and eve
 n prevent brain disorders. The scientific coordinators are Professor Hans R
 . Schöler ML, Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine, Münster, on b
 ehalf of the Leopoldina, and Professor Bong-Kiun Kaang, Seoul National Univ
 ersity, on behalf of KAST.\n\nML = Member of the Leopoldina\n\nFurther Info
