Understanding how human intelligence arises is the ultimate challenge for brain science. Powerful integration of modern circuit biology, computational and clinical perspectives will be essential. On July 24, we welcome to UTokyo some of the world's thought leaders at the "Frontiers of Neurointelligence". Please join us for a stimulating symposium at IRCN!
We will hold a symposium 3S04m "Connectmic Approaches and Discoveries" in the morning of the 28th. The morning session may have only a short question and discussion time. We would like to have this satellite symposium held in the night to get more time for the discussion. Two speakers' talk time is 20 minutes each and the remaining 50 minutes are opened for the questions and discussion by attendees. We appreciate for your active participation.
Registration fee : Free , Banqut fee: Free More information is coming soon.
In this international symposium, we will discuss "How does animal's individuality emerge?". By discussing neural basis or the genetic/environmental factors, we will try to understand individuality in mental functions, such as cognitive faculties and personality. In addition to neural development and developmental brain science of model organisms, we will also try to integrate various research fields such as, comparative study of wild animals, evolutionary biology, innovative tools, big data, and mathematical models towards understanding individuality.

Innovative and large-scale neuroscience projects using massive amounts of data have been uprising around the globe. Parallel to this trend, multidisciplinary projects, such as those integrating human and non-human primate neuroscience or epidemiology and MRI scanning (dubbed "population neuroscience") have been established in Japan as well. In this symposium, leading neuroscience researchers from Japan and invited speakers coordinating neuroscience projects worldwide will share progress made in neuroscience through these projects and will discuss ideas for global cooperation to ensure further progress of such studies.
Proposals for satellite symposia at Neuroscience2018 are now invited.
Proposals approved as official satellite symposia will receive the following publicity from the Meeting.
Organizations wishing to hold satellite symposia are requested to download the application form and send it to the Neuroscience2018 Secretariat at neurosci2018@intergroup.co.jp.
The Executive Committee will take the venue, scale, and other factors given in the application into consideration for the confirmation of official satellite seminars when responding to applications.
Please be aware that it may not be possible to meet all the requests of a particular application in some cases.
The Meeting has the status of co-host, and will not be involved with the running of the symposia.
The organizers must include a member of the Japan Neuroscience Society.
(including events such as receptions).
In principle, organizers of satellite symposia are responsible for paying venue fees and management costs themselves.
The organizers have reserved some rooms (not the entire premises) of Kobe Convention Center on the day before the Meeting (July 25, 2018) for setup preparations. It may be possible to use Kobe Convention Center for satellite symposia on this day, depending on time and venue.
Symposium organizers who wish to do this should consult the Neuroscience2018 Secretariat.
