Meeting on Neuroscience Across Scales
Meeting on Neuroscience Across Scales
Venue: National Centre for Biological Sciences, Bangalore, India
Duration: July 17 – July 19, 2017
Meeting on neuroscience across scales is a 3-day meeting focusing on different aspects of neuroscience ranging from molecules to behavior. The target audience is undergraduate students, PhD students and postdocs from theoretical and/or experimental backgrounds (physics, math, neurobiology, engineering, etc.)
The field of research of the speakers ranges from molecular neurobiology to systems neuroscience to behavioral neuroscience. The meeting aims to present an overall picture of how information across different levels of neuronal organization is used to understand basic neuroscience and it’s applications in disease biology.
