DATE | 2023/05/30
Do you know that our brain is one of the most complex things in the universe? It works like a supercomputer, composed of many parts that work harmoniously when we think or learn. However, mental illnesses are like certain parts of the brain following different rules, making it difficult for the brain to function normally. In this speech, we will introduce how scientists use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to study the complexity of the brain with schizophrenia. By understanding how the brain works, new treatment methods can be developed for mental illnesses, and help patients live healthier lives.In the second part of the speech, we will discuss news literacy related to mental illnesses. Mental illnesses, like colds and cancers, require treatment, and news reports may provide incorrect or incomplete information that can affect our views and understanding. In addition to understanding the illness and respecting patients, we should also correctly interpret news reports and know when to seek professional help, to create a more friendly and harmonious society.This event is suitable for third graders and above, as well as anyone interested in the brain. Let’s explore the mysterious world of the brain together!Date: June 10, 2023Time: 14:30-15:30Location: Training Room, 11F, Taipei Public Library (No. 125, Sec. 2, Jianguo S.
