Shaping brain structure | Sofie Valk | TEDxLeipzigInternationalSchool

What if you could shape your own brain? This is what Sofie Valk and others in her research group asked themselves. The Cognitive Neurogenetics group at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences is conducting research on how we can shape our own brain structure and break out of our own genetic and evolutionary confines. This talk will shine light on how we can improve our minds via social interactions and experiences. Sofie Valk completed a PhD in social neurosciences and is now a research group leader of the Cognitive Neurogenetics group at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, researching brain structure and social behaviours. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
