Lifebrain public lecture in Oslo, Litteraturhuset

A healthy brain is essential to enjoy a productive human life. How can we keep our brain healthy? How does our environment affect our brain throughout life? How can we optimize our brain function? Brain health researchers in the EU-funded Lifebrain project presented some of their findings during the public lecture in the Litteraturhuset in Oslo, 6th June, 2018. The event was co-organised by Lifebrain and the Norwegian Brain Council (Hjernerådet).
