2024. október 19. szombat
Címkék: Hírek

Október 28-29-én kerül sor a KOKI előadótermében  a KOKI-Weizmann Agytudományi Workshopra, amelyre szeretettel meghívunk minden érdeklődőt. Az előadások angol nyelvűek.

 

A rendezvényre előzetes regisztráció nem szükséges - érkezési sorrendben, az előadóterem befogadóképességének erejéig. Ugyanakkor kérjük, hogy csak az előadások közötti szünetekben távozzanak/érkezzenek.

ABOUT THE WEIZMANN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE, DEPARTMENT OF BRAIN SCIENCES
The Department of Brain Sciences has more than 20 research groups studying different levels of brain function,
design, and pathologies. These studies rely on multidisciplinary cutting-edge methodologies, ranging from molecular biology and genetics to electrophysiology (in vitro and in vivo), behavioral analysis, functional imaging, virtual reality, and computational modeling.
The Institute investigates how neural circuits function and guide behavior, how one learns, what one remembers, including, sensory perception and processing; navigation; group behavior; cortical organization; neural coding; synaptic and circuit dynamics; neural plasticity; emotions; neuromodulation; regeneration; and more.
The Department of Brain Sciences is a part of the faculty of Biology, and the department has over 100 graduate students and postdocs from multiple fields, including biology; computer sciences; physics; mathematics; chemistry; medicine; psychology; and engineering. They perform highly integrative and interdisciplinary research in a stimulating intellectual atmosphere using research facilities that are amongst the most advanced available, and where, they closely interact with top research institutions worldwide.

 

ABOUT THE HUN-REN INSTITUTE OF EXPERIMENTAL MEDICINE, KOKI
The main theme of the Institute of Experimental Medicine is the exploration and understanding of the nervous system in order to increase knowledge of the brain and to contribute to the treatment of neurological diseases which is a huge burden on society and to the development of medical diagnostics and brain research methods.
The Institute was founded in 1952 to carry out biomedical research, and has developed over the last 20 years into the country's leading Centre for Neuroscience and has become a world-renowned Neurobiological Research Institute.
