The Brain Conference 2024
Circuits for Movement

This upcoming Brain Conference will focus on recent advances in understanding organisation and operating principles of neuronal circuits for motor control. Featuring the latest experimental and computational approaches, it will highlight how cell types are organised into specific networks to contribute to motor function from microcircuits to systems level, how motor and sensory information is integrated to produce adaptive behaviours, and compare principles in the motor system organisation and function across evolution.
The conference has been organised to create an interactive space with additional short talks from submitted abstracts and posters that will facilitate participation from a diverse cross section of neuroscientists working on sensory-motor systems.
Organised by FENS in collaboration with the Lundbeck Foundation, awarder of The Brain Prize, these bi-annual conferences bring together outstanding researchers in key areas of contemporary neuroscience to discuss current concepts and define challenges for future research.
