There is increasing evidence that civic participation - from voting to volunteering - is a social driver of health. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Roundtable on Population Health Improvement convened a workshop to explore the links between civics and health; between measures of civic engagement and quantitative and qualitative measures of health equity; and the roles that civic infrastructure, narrative, and media play in shaping civic engagement.

Ce livre est destiné à toute personne impliquée dans le droit ou intéressée par les neurosciences. Il pose la question de la place à accorder à l'imagerie fonctionnelle cérébrale, aux nouvelles neurotechnologies et plus largement aux neurosciences dans le droit. Au regard de la rapidité des progrès et de l'émergence de nouvelles connaissances sur le cerveau, il est possible que la loi ait toujours un temps de retard. Une anticipation des problèmes qui seront soulevés demain et après-demain par les neurosciences permettra-t-elle au droit de ne pas être éternellement dépassé ?
