The assignment of the three awards will be followed by a scientific reflection on the interaction between our organs entitled “Emotions. A look between the brain and the heart”. “It will be a scientific reflection during which the mechanisms that involve our most important organs and their complicity in bringing us to live Reason and Feelings will be discussed, thus contributing to the extraordinary game in which the essence of our life resides”, explains the professor. Maira. The Athena Foundation, established in 2001 by Professor Maira with the aim of promoting research and disseminating knowledge in the field of Neuroscience, is developing the study of an innovative therapy for the treatment of malignant brain tumors, in collaboration with the Higher Institute of Health and the Agostino Gemelli Polyclinic.
