The brain is both our most enigmatic organ and the site of some of today's most remarkable medical breakthroughs. Two experts guide you through the latest innovations in neurosurgery and brain research: Dan Bang, who teaches cognitive neuroscience at Aarhus University, and Jens Christian Hedemann Sørensen, a professor and neurosurgeon leading the Department of Neurosurgery and the Danish Neuroscience Research Center at Aarhus University Hospital. Together they explore how advanced technology and precision are opening new perspectives for treating brain disorders.
The program presents treatments that are already transforming patients' lives. Discover how deep brain stimulation helps people with Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders, as well as how spinal cord stimulation can alleviate severe chronic pain. Science journalist Line Friis Frederiksen moderates the discussion and ensures an engaging and informative evening.
The event is part of the Folk University's knowledge festival Hearts & Minds and takes place at Dokk1/Aarhus Main Library. Admission is free.
