Satellite Theme: Although reductionist approaches have provided many scientific advances, a more wholistic, integrative approach is required to understand how a structure as complex as the brain provides cognition and behaviour. A challenge for researchers is that often such work does not fit neatly within traditional neuroscience disciplines. For this one-day symposium, we encourage abstracts and presentations from trainees whose research cuts across traditional neuroscience systems, levels and approaches, bridging both theoretical and experimental work.
Coffee breaks and lunch will be provided for presenters/registrants up to 100 attendees.
Location: Second Student Centre, York University, Keele Campus, Toronto, located along the north-west of the city on subway line 1.
Registration is free, limited to 100 attendees.
Abstracts will be accepted until the program is full or April 1st, whichever comes first.
