Overview

The symposium brings together leading experts and innovators to explore groundbreaking advancements in understanding the nervous system, focusing on innovative approaches to neuronal function, scarring, neurodegeneration, and therapeutic strategies. Topics will include cutting-edge single-cell techniques to dissect neuronal specification, connectivity, and degeneration, offering profound insights into how individual neurons develop, operate, and deteriorate. In addition, we will examine how the neural environment influences neuronal function and constrains regeneration, shedding light on the complex interactions that impact recovery after injury.

Through lectures, discussions, and poster sessions, attendees will gain a deep understanding of the latest frontiers in neuroscience. This event aims to foster collaboration, stimulate innovation, and highlight the transformative potential of neuroscience in improving human health and well-being.
