Cleaning the Brain - The importance of sleep
Janosch Heller
(Assistant Professor, Dublin City University)
Poor sleep could contribute to the development of neurological diseases. I will talk about how the brain clears toxic build up while we sleep and how we might be able to improve this waste clearance.
From Ceremony to Clinic: Investigating Psychedelics for Mental Health
Kathryn Ledden

Can psychedelic substances help people live well? What are the benefits and risks, and what are the challenges of studying them? An interactive discussion from the frontier of mental health research.
How are they feeling? Using neuroscience to learn more about how we recognise emotions
Anna Trimborn

In our daily life, it is helpful to understand the emotions of others. To learn more about how we recognise and make sense of complicated emotions like joy, relief, anger or hate, we study the brain.
