Tübingen Science Bridge: Science and Medicine Edition (March 2023)
Lecture: "Connectomic Reserve: The Secret Connections of the Brain"
***Deutsche Version unten*** | *** Versão em português abaixo***
The first online seminar from the program Tübingen Science Bridge – Latin America in 2023 will take place on March 1st at 11:00 am BRT (03:00 pm MEZ) and will focus on the area of Science and Medicine.
The lecture has the participation of Prof. Dr. Roberto Lent, Full Professor of Neuroscience at the Institute of Biomedical Sciences of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), and of the D’Or Institute of Research and Education. He is also a full member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences. He will put on the agenda the theme "Connectomic Reserve: The Secret Connections of the Brain".
The program, an initiative of the Baden-Württemberg Center for Brazil and Latin America at the Universität Tübingen, aims to contribute to the internationalization of science and research. Scientists from several partner institutions will present their latest research data, promoting an integrated and constructive environment for scientific interaction and also contributing global knowledge.
The lectures of the Tübingen Science Bridge are aimed at professors and scientific researchers, graduate students, as well as a more the general audience. The online seminar will be held in English on the ZOOM platform in order to allow discussion and interaction.

Lecture Briefing:
Psychologists have long dealt with the concept of cognitive reserve, as a capacity of the mind (and consequently of the brain) to resist to challenges imposed by the environment, such as neurodegenerative diseases, congenital malformations, traumas etc. What in the brain would underpin this concept? My group has tried to assess the hypothesis that the number of brain cells would be an answer, with positive and negative results. However, more recently, we could open a new window with the discovery that long-distance neuroplasticity of brain connections is largely made possible by the existence of previously unnoticed connections in the brain. Presumably, these “secret” connections allow the brain connectivity to expand in some “emergence” conditions, and thus either compensate or aggravate the final pattern of brain structure and function.
