On May 21, the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Lisbon held an information session open to the general public about the topic "Cerebrovascular Disease".
The guest speakers invited to this event, organised by the Mind-Brain College of the University of Lisbon, were Ana Catarina Fonseca and Daniel Caldeira, both Professors at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Lisbon, and a representative of Portugal AVC - an association of survivors, relatives and friends, Diana Wong Ramos.
With about 40 participants (students, researchers, seniors, caregivers, etc.), this initiative allowed the attendees to be in direct contact with physicians, researchers and stroke survivors, who cleared doubts and answered questions about stroke, namely how to avoid or how to recover from it.
This round table is part of the "Mind-Brain Talks", a cycle of events whose main purpose is to bring society closer to science.
