Scientists from IPHYS will again actively participate in the programme of the Czech Academy of Sciences\u2019 outreach event Brain Awarness Week (9\u201315 March) and have prepared three lectures and one workshop that together present the brain as a dynamic organ of constant communication, information processing, and internal timing.<\/p>\n
The lecture \u201eJak spolu nervov\u00e9 bu\u0148ky komunikuj\u00ed?<\/a>\u201c will take us into the world of synapses, where neurons exchange electrical and chemical signals that give rise to memory, learning, and thinking itself. The lecture \u201eJak mozek zpracov\u00e1v\u00e1 zrakov\u00e9 podn\u011bty: dva zrakov\u00e9 proudy a jejich komunikace<\/a>\u201c will show how the brain divides visual information into a pathway determining what we see and a pathway determining where it is located, and how their interplay enables smooth spatial orientation. The lecture \u201cNa\u010dasov\u00e1n\u00ed je kl\u00ed\u010d: Jak n\u00e1s \u0159\u00edd\u00ed biologick\u00e9 hodiny<\/a>\u201d will explain how the internal circadian system, in sync with the day-night cycle, affects sleep, attention, and performance. And the workshop \u201cRytmus \u017eivota ve sv\u011btle i ve tm\u011b<\/a>\u201d, which is also suitable for children, will offer a practical look at how light and darkness shape our biological rhythms and how we can consciously work with them.<\/p>\n Together, these events reveal the brain as a finely tuned system in which communication, perception, and timing form a unified whole. You can find more information and additional lectures here<\/a>. So do not hesitate and come learn about new discoveries concerning the most important control organ of the human body.<\/p>\n Program of presentations of IPHYS research:<\/strong> Tuesday 10 March, 11:00 \u2013\u00a0Jak spolu nervov\u00e9 bu\u0148ky komunikuj\u00ed?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>How Do Nerve Cells Communicate?
