Science Café: SMART DRUGS: Can we hack our way to a better brain?
In this Dutch-language edition, they will dive into the neurochemistry of motivation, attention and decision-making, and take us behind the scenes of how a memory drug is made. Can we really hack our way to a better brain?
-
Science Café: Smart Drugs
Students take Ritalin, workers reach for modafinil, and a booming ‘smart drug’ market promises more brainpower. But does any of it work?
-
Dynamics of the cortico-hippocampalinteractions
This PhD thesis investigates how the broader cortical network interacts with the hippocampus, how these interactions are shaped by behaviour, and whether distinct global cortical signatures underlie episodic/spatial and contextual memory.
