This year’s Brain Awareness Week opened up with the introductory lecture by doc. dr. sc. Jelena Ban and mag. biotech. Zrinko Baričević, titled “Brain Assembly: development through the opossum model” („Sastavljanje mozga: razvoj kroz model oposuma“), which gave insight into basal brain functions and its composition, answering questions such as: how many cells are in the human brain?; How do neurons, astrocytes, microglia and oligodendrocytes function?; What is their role and how do they cooperate?

This lecture, together with all other from BAW 2022 are available at the Department of Biotechnology YouTube channel!
