Nicole asks a provocative question: what if treating brain disorders is less like replacing a broken part in a machine, and more like trying to redirect a hurricane? Nicole argues that only by embracing the brain as a complex adaptive system can we hope to make real progress.

These three institutions stand out for their complementary and comprehensive work, which over decades has promoted eye health and reduced the burden of visual impairment, especially in the most disadvantaged regions of the world.

This one-day event will bring together clinicians, researchers, patient representatives, policymakers and ethicists to explore the landscape of psychedelic-assisted care through the lens of the four pillars of medical ethics: beneficence, autonomy, non-maleficence, and justice.

The symposium will delve into safety, regulation, therapeutic practices, and future directions to ensure equitable access to psychedelic-assisted care.

The future of medicine is being redefined by artificial intelligence. From digital twins and precision medicine to AI-driven medical imaging and large language models, cutting-edge technologies are transforming the way we diagnose, treat, and prevent disease.

Sleep disturbances in breast cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy – designed to shrink the tumours prior to surgery – are one of the common side effects of these treatments, which can not only exacerbate other side effects, but also impact prognosis. One of the possible, non-pharmacological strategies to mitigate these disturbances is thought to be physical exercise.

Following Episode 5 - Part 1, where we explored the hidden world of the hypothalamus and the “love hormone” oxytocin, this second part of Hedi’s conversation with neuroendocrinologist Gareth Leng takes us even deeper.
