El País Collection: Neuroscience and Psychology

Understanding our mind helps us know ourselves better. With this premise from the Spanish newspaper El País, we recall the Neuroscience and Psychology collection, which brought together experts in the field to offer a scientific perspective on the human being.

This collection, directed by the professor of the Department of Psychiatry at the Faculty of Medicine of the Complutense University of Madrid, Tomás Ortiz Alonso, sought to deepen the understanding of the mind and the functioning of the brain.
