About the Global Exchange Lecture Course

Circuit neuroscience, aided by recently developed molecular, microscopic, and behavioral tools, has redefined the scope and ambit of mechanistic neuroscience over the last two decades. This EMBO Global Exchange Lecture Course hosts a series of talks, both onsite and online, from researchers across the globe and India on the recent developments in circuit neuroscience in various aspects of health and disease. In our EMBO Global Exchange Lecture Course, we have invited speakers working on as diverse topics as circuits underlying metabolic disorders, anxiety, motor dysfunction, pain, olfaction, endocannabinoid signaling, learning, memory, and machine learning enabled behavior analysis. Despite the diversity, we have broadly grouped the talks into motor, sensory, metabolism, emotion, learning-memory, and behavioral analysis. In addition to the invited speakers (a mix of early-career, mid-career, and established researchers), we will select a few abstracts of postdocs and senior graduate students for short talks. Our attendees will be senior graduate students, postdocs, and early-career independent researchers who we believe will benefit the most from this lecture series. The attendees, both online and offline, will get opportunities to interact with the speakers through structured and unstructured events. Importantly, this will be the first neuroscience meeting or lecture series that will be dedicated to the study of neural circuits. The neuroscience community in India and neighbouring countries is growing, and they will significantly benefit from this EMBO Global Exchange Lecture Course.

Participants from within India can take a flight/train/bus to Chandigarh. Ola/Uber cabs can be hired from Chandigarh airport/railway station/bus stand to reach IISER Mohali.

About the Area

Chandigarh and Mohali, often considered twin cities, lie adjacent to each other in northern India. While Chandigarh is a Union Territory and the shared capital of Punjab and Haryana, Mohali is a part of Punjab and is officially known as Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar. Together, they form part of the Tricity area along with Panchkula in Haryana, contributing to one of India’s most developed urban regions.

Chandigarh is renowned for its planned layout by the Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier, with sectors organized for residential, commercial, and administrative purposes. Known for its architecture, green spaces, and high quality of life, it boasts attractions such as the Rock Garden, Sukhna Lake, and Rose Garden. Chandigarh is a major center for governance, research, and education, with key institutions like the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) and Panjab University. Mohali, on the other hand, has rapidly developed as a commercial and IT hub in Punjab, attracting numerous tech companies and startups. Key establishments like the Indian School of Business (ISB) Mohali campus and IISER Mohali have further enhanced the city's reputation as a center for higher education.

Together, Chandigarh and Mohali form a unique blend of administrative significance, modern infrastructure, educational hubs, and a vibrant social scene, making them attractive to professionals, students, and families alike.
