"In these ten years of organizing academic and cultural events within World Brain Week, the GdN has been characterized as much by the methodological interdisciplinarity of its approach to sensitive topics of contemporary neuroethical and bioethical reflection as by its openness to a wide-ranging dialogue with Italian and international experts," says Prof. Carrara.
