Science on Tap: Pleasure and Your Brain (plus a concert)
November 16, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
$15 – $45
Via Productions’ next Science on Tap explores “Your Brain on Pleasure and in Love: A Discussion and Concert,” at 7 p.m. Nov. 16 in person at the Aladdin Theatre, 3017 S.E. Milwaukie Ave., Portland. Tickets are $15 to $45. Complete information is available at scienceontaporwa.org/events/aladdin_nov_16_pleasure/.
Listening to beautiful music, falling in love, and eating really good chocolate create intense feelings of pleasure – but why? 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 – this show mixes music, humor, and neuroscience. OHSU neuroscientist Larry Sherman, Ph.D. will be joined by singer/songwriter Naomi LaViolette to present a fascinating multi-media discussion and concert on how the brain experiences pleasure.
Vaccine cards required and checked at entry. Masks are recommended. Recorded live shows are available to Patreon members about a week later. For more details on this event or about Science on Tap, visit Science on Tap OR WA.
