The Santos Dumont Institute (ISD) will welcome renowned researcher Paul Manger next Tuesday (27) for a lecture in the auditorium of the Edmond and Lily Safra International Institute of Neuroscience (IIN-ELS), in Maca\u00edba. The lecture, entitled <\/span>\u201cWhat is the use of comparative brain research?\u201d<\/span><\/i> (What is the use of comparative brain research?), will be a unique opportunity for students, researchers and professionals in the field of neuroscience to delve deeper into a topic of great scientific relevance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The event will be moderated by ISD professor and researcher Felipe Fiuza. The event is scheduled to start at 3:00 p.m. and participation is open to the general public. Registration can be done through the online form, available at the following link: <\/span>https:\/\/forms.gle\/Kqx8BNeay1uGAMdB7<\/span><\/a>. Registration is free and places are limited.<\/span><\/p>\n

Paul Manger, a professor in the School of Anatomical Sciences at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa, is one of the world\u2019s leading experts on the evolution of brain shapes across different phylogenetic lineages. His research focuses on understanding how evolution shapes the different brain shapes of different species. From small mammals to African elephants, Manger has studied the brains of more than 150 species, building the first large mammal brain bank in the southern hemisphere.<\/span><\/p>\n

With a remarkable academic career, the researcher is a member of the Royal Society of South Africa and the author of more than 230 articles in international peer-reviewed scientific journals, as well as 12 chapters in specialized books. His experience and in-depth knowledge on the subject make his lecture an unmissable event for those who wish to better understand the complexity of the human brain and its comparisons with other species.<\/span><\/p>\n

In his article \u201cIs 21st Century Neuroscience Too Focussed on the Rat\/Mouse Model of Brain Function and Dysfunction?\u201d, Paul Manger questions whether contemporary neuroscience is limiting its discoveries by focusing too much on a single animal model, failing to explore the diversity of brain structures present in nature. This provocation, which will be at the heart of his talk, challenges researchers to expand their approaches and consider the rich morphological and functional variation in the brains of different species.<\/span><\/p>\n

Those interested in participating in the lecture must register using an online form, available at the link:<\/span> https:\/\/forms.gle\/Kqx8BNeay1uGAMdB7<\/span><\/a>. Don't miss this opportunity to expand your knowledge and discuss ideas with one of the great names in contemporary neuroscience.<\/span><\/p>\n
