We are very happy to receive Dr. Anna Mestres-Missé as an invited speaker. Anna received her PhD in 2007 under the supervision of Antoni Rodriguez-Fornells and this is the first time she comes back to our lab  to give a talk about the work she has recently performed. She has worked as a post-doc researcher first in the Max Plank Institute in Leipzig, Germany, and since 2013 at the University of Manchester. Anna has become a specialist in basal ganglia function. We are looking forward to discuss and hear about her her work on the role of the basal ganglia both in relation to word learning and in cognitive control.
