Title:
Contributions of simpler nervous systems in the modern neuroscience
Organizers:
Zsolt Pirger – István Fodor (HUN-REN BLKI)
Summary:
The planned symposium will focus on the most recent findings obtained in any field of invertebrate neuroscience, from functional anatomy to molecular aspects of behaviour and learning. Priority will be given to the question of evolutionary aspects from the perspectives of vertebrate neuroscience. In addition to the wide range of scientific insights, special emphasis will also be placed on cutting-edge technologies in invertebrate neuroscience. The symposium also aims to highlight the potential of invertebrate models to address a large range of neurobiological questions, problems, and phenomena.
