SE13 - Meeting of the European Neuroscience Society (EMCCS): Understanding cognition in the healthy and diseases brain: From molecules to networks (10:00-18:00)

The European Molecular and Cellular Cognition Society is an international organization focused on fostering scientific exchanges in Europe in the field of Molecular and Cellular Cognition. With the aim to understand the mechanisms underlying cognitive function in the healthy and diseases brain, it is important to bring together researchers that address such questions across scales, hence to study cognitive function at the level of molecules, gene-expression, proteostasis and neuronal network plasticity. The program of this year’s satellite event presents recent examples of cutting-edge neuroscientific research in 3 sessions that will cover research on the molecular, cellular and systems aspects of cognition in the healthy and diseases brain. In addition, the EMMCS board is selecting 4 junior researchers from the submitted abstracts to give them the opportunity to present their work to a distinguished audience.

Fee: for students/postdocs 25,-€ and for PI 50,-€
