We propose the inaugural “Circuits and Behaviour CAN 2024 Satellite Meeting”, a full-day satellite meeting that seeks to bring together Canadian neuroscientists working at the intersection of neural circuits and behaviour.
We are hosting the inaugural “Circuits and Behaviour CAN 2024 Satellite Meeting”, a full-day satellite meeting that seeks to bring together Canadian neuroscientists working at the intersection of neural circuits and behaviour. The scientific scope of our meeting focuses on visualization and manipulation of neural circuits, and relating these properties to behaviour. Behaviour is broadly defined, including readouts involving cognition, emotion, motivation, stress, feeding, learning and memory, and motor function in both health and disorder. Technological developments involving next-generation approaches to visualize and manipulate neural circuits in a behavioural context will also be within the scope of this meeting.
To capture the breadth of Canadian research in this area, we have a full-day satellite meeting incorporating a total of eight invited talks from Canadian principal investigators. Our invited speakers are representative of the broad cross-Canada engagement in neural circuits and behaviour, and are balanced across gender, institutions, geographical locations, and career stages. We will also have four talks from trainees, selected from meeting registrants, and a prize for the best overall trainee talk. Opportunities for discussion and networking will be facilitated by coffee breaks and a free lunch for registrants.
