This programme is held in Swedish
The human brain is the most complex structure in the entire universe, and for more than a hundred years researchers have tried to understand how it works. At the same time, new brains are constantly forming in embryos within just a few weeks.
Professor Sten Linnarsson, together with an international research team, has mapped the brain’s early genetic development. Listen to Linnarsson talk about how the brain is formed, how brain research is conducted, and what we can do with that knowledge, in a talk with Gustav Källstrand from the Nobel Prize Museum.
The talk takes place in connection with the exhibition Cells, nerves, genes, and is recorded for the podcast Ideas that change the world.
