In this regard, a new
imaging genetics study
directed by Professor Elvira Brattico from Aarhus University and conducted in two Italian hospitals in collaboration with the University of Helsinki (Finland) has provided the
first evidence that the effects of music and noise on affective behavior and brain physiology are associated with genetically determined dopamine functionality.
I will present an overview of our current
direct imaging search for planets in the nearby binary - rich Scorpius - Centaurus association, as well as our discovery of one of the
first directly imaged planets, Scorpion - 1b, in a hierarchical triple system.
