The International Seminar on Neuroscience and Education is specially addressed to families, professors, psychologists, educators and professionals working in the teaching field. The event will feature the participation of leading experts in the field of education and neuroscience who will analyze the fundamentals of human development from birth to adulthood. A scientific researcher for the last 30 years, Sonia Lupien studies the effects of stress on the human brain, from infancy to adulthood and old age.
Her studies have shown that stress hormones can significantly impair memory performance and emotional regulation and that exposure to early adversity modifies the developmental trajectory of the brain. In her new research projects, she is working on differences between men and women in stress reactivity, and she is developing new educational programs on stress.
She is also working on the impact of negative stress mindsets on the physiological response to stress in children and teenagers with the goal of developing new stress interventions aimed at modifying the public's interpretation of human stress. His professional interests focus on science and scientific outreach.
In outreach, he has published about fifty articles, a children's story dedicated to Posidonia, a Mediterranean marine plant Ed. Generalitat de Catalunya , which has been translated into Spanish, French, and Arabic, and the books "Curiosities of the natural world for everyone," "50 questions and answers for everyone" Ed. Baula , and "Science under the spotlight" Ed.
He now presents a weekly live science section on the program "Tot es mou" TV3 , where he has already accumulated more than interventions. Since then, he continues to explain science associated with current events, such as the eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano on the island of La Palma , where he even made live connections.
