Aspects of Neuroscience. 4th International Conference
Aspects of Neuroscience. 4th International Conference
Fourth edition of the “Aspects of Neuroscience” Conference is coming soon. It is organized by members of the Neurobiology Students’ Scientific Club of University of Warsaw as a part of the ‘Aspects of Neuroscience’ Project.
As in the following years, this time the Conference also consists of poster and report symposia. November symposia will be devoted to:Neurobiology, Neuroinformatics, Clinical Neuroscience, Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroscience Borderlines. Each of the thematic symposia will be preceded by a lecture delivered by one of the guests, a specialist of a given domain. The schedule also provides special lectures opening and closing the Conference.
The student lectures will take place simultaneously in two rooms, in basic version ( papers intended for beginning listeners in a given domain) and in extended version ( for people who have some substantial bases). Conference will be conducted in English. The event is intended for students, PhD students, and research workers related to neuroscience but also for people who do not have any experience with this field of knowledge.
