Neuroscience: The Science of the Brain (Italian)  

Neuroscience: The Science of The Brain (Italian)

 

This is the Italian language translation of the public education booklet.  This translation was made for IBRO by:

  • Maria Vittoria Meraviglia, Centro Riabilitazione Motoria ASL Milano
  • Piero Paolo Battaglini, Dipartimento di Scienze della Vita Università di Trieste
  • Yuri Bozzi, Centre for Integrative Biology (CIBIO), University of Trento
  • Mara Fabri – Chiara Pierpaoli, Dipartimento di Neuroscienze Sezione di Fisiologia Umana Facoltà di Medicina
  • Lisa Gherardini, Istituto di Neuroscienze del CNr di Pisa

The British Neuroscience Association (BNA) commissioned the booklet for the purposes of teaching young people in the UK about the brain and neuroscience, the science of the brain.  The booklet contains short explanatory chapters on different subjects written by experts in each topic. The original booklet was published in 2004. 

In 2005, the International Brain Research Organisation (IBRO) purchased the copyright of the booklet. We have commissioned members of our organisation to translate the booklet in multiple languages.
 
We hope that you will use these translations for the purpose of improving public understanding and awareness of the brain and the importance of brain research. IBRO and the BNA are happy for you to make printed copies of these PDF files. However this should not be done for profit.
