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.
About EMBO Courses and Workshops
EMBO Courses and Workshops are selected for their excellent scientific quality and timelines, provision of good networking activities for all participants and speaker gender diversity (at least 40% of speakers must be from the underrepresented gender).
Organisers are encouraged to implement measures to make the meeting environmentally more sustainable.
