This evening our expert speakers will shed light on how our beautiful brains and nervous systems can be reviewed to predict dementia, and potentially repaired to health following spinal cord injury. Come hear about the fascinating neuroscience behind all this!

If memory serves - deciphering dementia at its earliest stages

Dr Charles Marshall (Clinical Senior Lecturer)

When we are in a noisy pub, our brains work very hard to understand what people are saying. We are using this principle to develop stress tests for the brain that can detect the earliest signs of dementia.

The Spinal Countdown - Innovations into the repair of spinal cord injury

Dr Patrick Pallier (Senior Lecturer in Neuroscience)

Your spinal cord, your life. Easily snapped, tedious to repair. Breaking a spinal cord we take for granted ruins the lives of patients and families. What are the struggles and hopes for repair?
