–
Join us in Freiburg for the Symposium “Inhibitory Neurons: From Synapses and Microcircuits to Behavior,” hosted by IN-CODE (SFB/TRR384) in collaboration with the Austrian Cluster of Excellence “Neuronal Circuits in Health and Disease.”
Over two intensive days, leading international researchers will explore how diverse inhibitory interneuron types regulate synaptic integration, shape microcircuit dynamics, and coordinate population activity to enable perception, cognition, and behavior.
The symposium aims to provide an engaging forum for exchanging ideas, building new collaborations, and presenting state-of-the-art approaches to dissecting inhibitory circuits from molecules and synapses to complex behaviors, with scientists at all career stages warmly invited to participate and to present their work during the poster session or short talk.
Symposium places are limited, so please register soon; early registration is preferred to help us with planning and setup.
