Keynote Stefano Mancuso, Plant Neurobiologist Director of the International Laboratory of Plant Neurobiology, University of Florence Plants behave in a curiously intelligent way: they fight off predators, optimize opportunities to accumulate food... But can we really say that plants possess their own form of intelligence? Italian plant neurophysiologist Stefano Mancuso presents some truly intriguing evidence. The meetings are organized by the Mind/Brain Center (CIMeC) of the University of Trento, together with the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Trento e Rovereto and with the collaboration of the Museo Civico di Rovereto.
