This year, it is our pleasure to announce Synapse 2021 symposium featuring two days of regular talks by established and early-career researchers in the field, as well as Lightning talk sessions by PhD students and post-doctoral fellows. We bring to you an exciting line-up of speakers working in diverse areas of neuroscience from development of the hippocampus, to maintaining order in the adult brain, brain-behaviour interactions from rodents to ravens, molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases, and the use of brain organoids to decode CNS pathologies. Further, this symposium will also serve as a platform for research students and post-doctoral fellows to showcase their work to the wider neuroscience community. We believe that this can be a great forum that would offer excellent visibility for your work.
