NEURONS IN ACTION 2021

November 29th – December 1st, 2021

Neurons in Action 2021 plants trees!
It is our pleasure to announce that thanks to generous donations from Neurons in Action 2021 Organizers and Attendees the Nencki Foundation has planted 36 trees to compensate for the C02 produced during preparation and streaming of our symposium. Thanks to you help we managed to make this a zero-emission event!!!

Neurons in Action 2021
in numbers!

The 4th edition of the Neuroscience in Action symposium was held virtually November 29th-December 1st, 2021 and gathered over 220 scientists at all levels of their scientific career (83% active participation!).

During these three days we listened to 23 incredibly interesting talks by scientists presenting their latest research on neuronal mechanisms of inheritance of behavioral phenotypes, aberrant synaptic plasticity, formation of fear memory and spatial memory, dynamic changes in activity of neuronal circuits and processing of memories in humans. We also participated in an inspiring panel discussion on scientific careers (with EMBL and FENS-Kavli members as panelists) and a poster session (shout out to Dr. Ahmad Salamian, whose poster was visited by 129 viewers!).

We hope to see you at the 2022 Neurons in Action symposium!

Stay safe until then.
