If the mind controls the brain, then there is free will and its corollaries, dignity and responsibility. You are king in your skull-sized kingdom and the architect of your destiny.

In this webinar, Professor George Paxinos will discuss his highly respected work on the construction of human and experimental animal brain atlases. He has discovered 94 brain regions, 64 homologies and published 58 books. His first book, The Rat Brain in Stereo

Understanding the fundamental gene regulatory mechanisms underlying addiction and related behaviors could facilitate more effective treatments. We discuss our work using multi-omics methods to provide mechanistic and functional insights into how addiction perturbs gene regulatory programs in the rat brain, with single-cell resolution.
