NeuroDays 2019: Brain and pleasure

NeuroDays (formerly PhD Days) are back in 2019 with the theme “Brain and Pleasure”.

• Date: November 28-29, 2019
• Location: Campus La Timone, Faculté d’Odontologie, Aix Marseille Université, 27 Boulevard Jean Moulin, 13385 Marseille
• Free, but mandatory registration

NeuroDays is a scientific event organized by students of the Neuroschool PhD program (Aix-Marseille Université). Each year a different theme is chosen and a program surrounding this theme is assembled for the scientific community.

Are pleasure and desire obstacles to reasonable and intelligent behavior or could they be the best tools for the brain to motivate us to take actions in order to survive and reproduce? Renowned speakers will discuss the many facets of pleasure from different neuroscientific perspectives.

We are pleased to welcome Nils Kroemer (University of Tubingen, Germany), Wolfram Schultz (University of Cambridge, UK), James Pfaus (Universidad Veracruzana, Mexico), Eva Pool (University of Geneva, Switzerland), Anna Beyeler (Université de Bordeaux), and Christelle Baunez (University of Aix-Marseille).
