Retrato de un cerebro: los artistas.
De las neuronas a la creatividad

Creativity is a bridge that connects the shores of imagination and memory. Attributed to artists, it belongs to everyone. This cycle of conferences proposes a journey through creativity, interweaving art and neuroscience. Once again, science is the Museum's guest and interpreter of aspects of the collections.

We begin with the first lecture, given by Dr. Nazareth Castellanos, exploring the neuroscience of artistic creativity and the creativity that captures the emotions we observe in others. The second lecture, given by Dr. Susana Carmona, takes us to the brain changes during the creative process of motherhood. A conversation between Dr. Nazareth Castellanos and Dr. Fernando Maestú about creativity under the conditions of ageing makes up the third session, followed by the talk that concludes the cycle: The garden of neurology, given by Dr. Javier de Felipe. The masterly drawings of nerve tissues made by Santiago Ramón y Cajal will serve as a guide to the arguments presented in this final session.
