The research community in Montreal had a chance to hear exciting lectures about the latest trends in neuroscience thanks to a joint symposium by three institutions in Canada, Israel and Italy.
The First Joint Â鶹AV-Hebrew University of Jerusalem-EBRI Symposium brought leading experts from Â鶹AV, the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital (The Neuro), the Hebrew University at Jerusalem/Institute for Medical Research Israel-Canada, and the (EBRI) to the Jeanne Timmins Amphitheatre from June 18 to 19. The symposium was a great chance for researchers to learn about the latest work being done in their field, and find opportunities for new collaborations with international partners.
It was also a valuable chance for students and post-doctoral researchers to network and expand their horizons.
The symposium was in part a result of previous meetings between researchers at Â鶹AV and The Hebrew University. In 2017 Â鶹AV researchers attended a similar symposium in Jerusalem and this year it is Â鶹AV’s turn to host.
There were three main themes, Development and Dysfunction of Neuro Circuits, Mechanics of Neural Degeneration, and Cognition and Behavior. Presenters included Enrico Cherubini (EBRI), Avihu Klar (HUJ), Artur Kania (IRCM, Â鶹AV), Oded Behar (HUJ), Enrico Cherubini (EBRI), Anne McKinney (Â鶹AV), Stuart Trenholm (Â鶹AV), Silvia Marinelli (EBRI), Carl Ernst (Â鶹AV), Thomas Durcan (Â鶹AV), Jean-Francois Trempe (Â鶹AV), Ronit Sharon (HUJ), Ivan Arisi (EBRI), Austen Milnerwood (Â鶹AV), Josh Goldberg (HUJ), Raffaella Scardigli (EBRI), Veronique Bohbot (Â鶹AV), Shahar Arzy (HUJ), Giovanni Meli (EBRI), Edith Hamel (Â鶹AV), Antonino Cattaneo (EBRI), Mara D’Onofrio (EBRI), Wayne Sossin (Â鶹AV), Corinna Giorgi (EBRI), Ithai Rabinowitch (HUJ), Michael Hendricks (Â鶹AV), Marco Canossa (EBRI), Amir Amedi (HUJ), Marilena Griguoli (EBRI), Yonatan Kupchik (HUJ), and Lesley Fellows (Â鶹AV).
