Sunday, August 5th, 2018
7:30 PM to 9:15 PM

The brain is one of our most important organs, yet we know very little about how it develops and functions. Why?


Join the Salt Spring Forum in conversation with Dr. Bryan Kolb, one of Canada’s most distinguished brain specialists, to unlock the mysteries of the brain!


How do early experiences shape our brains? How do factors such as stress, poverty and drugs shape brain development, and are changes in our brains hereditary? Can we recover from brain injury or disease?


Bryan Kolb is a Professor in the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Lethbridge, an Officer of the Order of Canada and a member of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research’s program in Child Brain Development.


Dr. Kolb’s work has contributed to the search for new treatments for victims of stroke, drug use, brain injury and Alzheimer's disease.


Don't miss this rare opportunity to learn about the latest developments in neuroscience from a world-leading expert!
