Annual Florey Lecture Featuring Baroness Susan Greenfield

The human brain is now wired for change.

Modern technology is rewiring our brains at an alarming rate after remaining relatively unchanged for 30,000 years. What impact will this have on society?

According to this year's University of Adelaide annual Florey Lecture speaker and world-leading neuroscientist Baroness Susan Greenfield, the human brain is in for a roller coaster ride this century.

Baroness Greenfield will present her thoughts on how technology, neuroscientific advances and designer drugs are modifying our brains in an unprecedented way.

Regarded as one of the most influential brain experts in the world, Baroness Greenfield will be in Adelaide to help celebrate the University of Adelaide Medical School's 125th anniversary.

Her public lecture in Bonython Hall will examine the impact of screen technologies on young brains, the effect of drugs and strong sensory messages on the brain, and how nanotechnology will soon provide early-warning signs of brain malfunction.
