This symposium will bring together both emerging and established leaders in the field of neurotrauma research from across the world to discuss the latest insights into (neuro-) inflammation and immune function after spinal cord and brain injury.

This upcoming workshop is all about integrating and improving the skills of how to communicate our work.

Understanding how neuronal activity and synaptic function produce and are shaped by behaviour is a fundamental goal of neuroscience. Similarly, improved treatments for mental and neurological disorders will rely on gaining a better appreciation for how the brain coordinates activity across synaptic, circuit and system scales. This short conference brings together academic, industry and clinical leaders to discuss the latest advances in these areas.
