“Preserving the Brain,” is a forum on neurodegenerative diseases to be held in September and October 2022, is the fourth phase of “Human Brains”. Realized in collaboration with thirteen of the most prestigious international neuroscience institutes and universities, the project comprises an exhibition (16 September – 10 October 2022) and a conference (6 and 7 October 2022) at Fondazione Prada’s Milan venue.

“Preserving the Brain” aims to stimulate an open and critical exchange between international scientists and experts on neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Multiple sclerosis, which are widely spread and as yet incurable. The forum participants include researchers, patient associations, and representatives of health care institutions and the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. They debate the current state of knowledge of these diseases and the tools currently used to fight them, while also seeking to identify lacunae in the search for possible therapies, and jointly defining priorities and strategies to sustain scientific research.
