Speaker #1 Dotun Adeyinka, Acadia University Investigating the Neurobiology and Neurophysiology of Psilocybin Using Drosophila melanogaster as a Model System. I have a PhD in Neurobiology from the University of Fribourg, Switzerland, where my work focused on the interplay between neural stem cell state transitions and the cell cycle in the brain, using Drosophila melanogaster […]
The conference will bring together scientists studying: • Normal and neuropathic nociceptive circuit function • The emotive and discriminatory dimensions of pain • The interface between nociception and other somatosensory modalities • The development and maturation of pain circuits • How noxious stimuli are translated into behavioural responses
