"El naufragi dels records. Què hi ha darrere de malalties com l'Alzheimer?" (The shipwreck of memories. What is behind Alzheimer's disease?) by Dr. Jaume Folch will be presented on April 4 at 7PM in Galatea bookstore (Reus).
This book explains, with an understandable and at the same time rigorous language, why diseases like this deprive us of memories, emotions, affection. It is also about the most surprising theories in the field of neuroscience and reveals the keys to future therapies. We live an extraordinary moment in the search for new treatments for brain disorders that will open a new era for humanity.
Prof. Francisco García, researcher of the area of Toxicology and medical examiner at the Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences of Catalonia, will attend the 22th Scientific Meeting of the Spanish Association of Forensic Doctors and the Legal Medicine School. This meeting will take in March 8th 2019, in the “Centro de Estudios Jurídicos”, Madrid. The conference brings national renowned speakers, as well as the participation of researchers and university students who will present their work and innovations in this field of Forensic Medicine. Dr. García will present the following communications:
