Concussion affects thousands of Danes annually and can have significant consequences for their lives. The condition is among the most talked-about and debated in medicine, and it places great demands on both patients and the healthcare system. This event offers an opportunity to learn more about the scientific foundation: What happens physiologically when the brain undergoes this type of injury, and what does the latest research show about treatment? Is concussion truly a brain injury, and what major myths and professional disagreements exist in the field today?
An in-depth conversation with two experts in the field: Jørgen Feldbæk, professor of neurology and research leader at Hammel Neurocenter, brings his perspective on neurological aspects and research practices. Hana Malá Rytter, director of the Danish Concussion Center and lecturer in neuropsychology at the University of Copenhagen and Bispebjerg Hospital, contributes perspectives on neuropsychological consequences and rehabilitation. Science journalist and sociologist Anne Sofie Hoffmann Schrøder moderates the discussion and ensures that complex topics become accessible to the audience.
The event is part of Folk University's knowledge festival Hearts & Minds and takes place at Dokk1/Aarhus Central Library. Admission costs 50 DKK.
