CAN-ACN Satellite Symposium: New Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience

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: York University, Keele Campus, Toronto, located along the North-West loop of subway line 1 (Room details to follow).
