Where
ELSC: Becker Auditorium, Goodman Brain Sciences Building.
On June 18-20 we celebrated ELSC’s 10th anniversary in an international conference, “Brainy Days in Jerusalem: An Interdisciplinary Celebration”. This was the third conference in a series of meetings that aim to bring together scientists from different fields of neuroscience to discuss common topics from many points of view. The conference, organized by Prof. Israel Nelken, Prof. Merav Ahissar, Prof. Yonatan Loewenstein and Dr. Inbal Goshen, was a great success. Nine speakers from all around the world and nine local speakers gave fascinating talks to a crowd of over 250 eager listeners from ELSC and other research institutions. The conference was held in the impressive Goodman Brain Sciences Building, which served as the perfect background to the cutting edge studies presented by the speakers.
