About the symposium
The symposium will showcase recent research on the regulation of neuronal functions in health and in neurological and degenerative disorders. The focus will be on biological processes that enable and sustain neuronal functions at the cell- and circuitry level with strong mechanistic components and application of state-of-the-art technologies. Invited speakers are leaders in the field, from around the world.
Attendees are welcome to present posters, and a few short (3 min) talks will be selected based on submitted abstracts to highlight the accompanying posters. The program will allow ample opportunity throughout the day for networking.

Register
Poster session
We encourage abstract submission for posters. The poster session will provide a unique opportunity for junior investigators and postdocs to highlight emerging science on cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate neuronal functions in health and disease. Please submit your abstract by October 18, 2019.
Power talks
(selected from poster abstract submission)
A few abstracts will be selected for authors to feature their work in a short (3 min) oral presentation to advertise their poster.
Submit poster abstract
Deadline: October 18, 2019
