Listening to beautiful music, falling in love and eating really good chocolate create intense feelings of pleasure – but why? OHSU neuroscientist Larry Sherman, Ph.D., joined by the Portland Chamber Orchestra and singer Naomi LaViolette, presents a fascinating multi-media discussion and concert on how the brain experiences pleasure. Diving into exciting new research – including what happens to the brain when love goes awry – and what we can learn from the monogamous prairie vole, Dr. Sherman mixes music, humor and neuroscience for an unforgettable, educational evening.
This unique lecture and performance will have a 15 minute intermission, and end at 9 p.m.
Thanks to the OHSU Brain Institute, NW Noggin has 12 complimentary tickets to this event! We’ll staff a table loaded with brains and art before and after the show.
