This programme is held in Swedish
In a conversation with Nobel Prize Museum’s Gustav Källstrand, Anders Hansen discusses how signals in the brain work, the role of medication in treating depression, and why constant happiness isn’t necessary for a good quality of life.
The talk will be recorded for the Nobel Prize Museum’s award-winning podcast Ideas That Change the World.
After the talk, you are welcome to explore the museum’s exhibitions, Bistro Nobel, and the museum shop, which remain open until 21:00.
Nobel Prize laureate Arvid Carlsson’s research on neurotransmitters in the brain, and his discovery of dopamine, has deepened our understanding of why certain medications work. His discovery also laid the foundation for the development of a new generation of antidepressants: SSRIs.
