"Book a Scientist" - PROMEMO on Tour
Vores personlige livshistorie former os som mennesker, men hvordan er vi egentlig i stand til at huske, hvad vi har oplevet tidligere? Hvordan kan det være, at nogle husker begivenheder hele livet, mens andre begivenheder er glemt med det samme?
Foredraget tager udgangspunkt i grundforskningscenteret "PROMEMO - Proteins in memory". Magnus er én af vores gruppeledere.

Psychoactive substances – are they really as dangerous as we are taught or can they have beneficial properties? We will explore this and other questions through the eyes of science, society, and synapses!
Together we will dive into how psychoactive substances act on the brain, body, and mind. We will also take a look at the use and abuse of these drugs throughout history and around the world and their impact on society now and then.
Finally we will explore current research outlining potential for a therapeutic role of psychoactive substances.

The Danish Science Festival, which is an annual event, is a week-long festival that is comprised by many700 different events across Denmark.
The purpose of the Danish Science Festival is to:
A part of the festival is the "Book a Scientist" programme, in which it is possible to have a researcher come to your institution to give a talk for free. Every year approximately 300 researchers sign up to the program. This year, the "Book a Scientist" programme is converted to a virtual format offering more than 200 online talks on various subjects.
Several PROMEMO researchers have signed up for this programme and offer free, online talks.
Liv i alle former opbygges af biomolekyler, og ved at undersøge deres 3D strukturer i atomar detaljer ved fx elektronmikroskopi kan vi forstå de basale mekanismer i evolution, sundhed, sygdom, medicin og bioteknologi
Foredraget vil handle om biomolekylers struktur og evolution, og hvordan liv har kunnet opstå og udvikle sig. Desuden om biomolekylers rolle i sundhed og sygdom, og om udvikling af ny medicin og bioteknologi

Have you ever wondered how memories are stored in the brain? And, what happens to them when we forget? Why do we even forget? In this lecture I will introduce learning and forgetting from a systems neuroscience perspective.

It’s been a little longer than a year since we have heard about the nation-wide lockdown due to Covid19 on the danish news. The whole life came to a standstill. Do you also remember where you were sitting or whom you were with at that moment you have gotten the news? Now you will probably agree that it is quite unusual to remember these trivial details from a day more than a year ago…
Experiencing a novel event may boost the retention of trivial memories that would be forgotten after a few days under normal conditions. You will hear more about this ‘novelty-induced memory boost’ in my lecture.

What is attention? We use it everyday. Our attention can be grabbed by a colourful advertisement, it can be focussed on work or maybe it can even be divided between two things.
However, are all of these the same type of attention? Do they use the same areas of the brain? We will explore what is going on inside our brains and how our environment influences us.

We all are affected by our fear memories throughout our life. Fear memories represent a subtype of classical conditioning (often pictured as Pavlov’s dog) – a behavioral and physiological concept that was introduced by Ivan Pavlov and became highly influential in psychology over the XXth century. It still remains largely a mystery – how long-lasting memories are formed and stored in our brain.
I am going to talk about molecular mechanisms and behavioral outcomes of fear memories in a broader context of brain plasticity. I make emphasis on the latest scientific advances. Those concepts may be explained in a simple way for a broad audience or at a higher level of detail – for psychologists, clinicians and pharma.
