Jacques Monod Conference: Optical Imaging of Brain Structure and function on multiple spatial scales

Optical imaging of brain structure and function on multiple

spatial scales

To be held in Roscoff (Brittany), France, June 11-15, 2014

This international conference will bring together scientists studying brain function on multiple different scales with physicists and neuroscientists that develop and use new tools. The meeting will cover the following 3 main topics:

•           New methods for studying brain structure and function
•           Synaptic mechanisms and integration
•           Network structure and information processing

Roscoff is at a beautiful and convenient location and has excellent facilities for the prestigious Jacques Monod conference series. Confirmed speakers include:
