Lessons from cerebral lesions

Lecture by Ruth de Diego

Disconnection between different parts of the brain can cause deficits and unusual patterns of behaviour. These phenomena make it possible to discover a great deal about brain functioning. Brain lesions open the way for discoveries about how the brain works and raise questions about significant aspects of the human being.

Ruth de Diego, ICREA research professor at the University of Barcelona (UB)

Presenter: Josep Corbella, science journalist at the newspaper La Vanguardia
