An interdisciplinary perspective on the deep brain in health and disease

Diving into the Subcortex 2022

The subcortex is crucial for cognition and disruption of subcortical structures is often observed in common neurodegenerative diseases. The complexity of the subcortex warrants an interdisciplinary approach that combines insights ranging from fundamental neuroscience via cognitive neuroscience in healthy and clinical populations to neurocomputational modelling.

This meeting aims to provide a stage for promising young researchers to present their work, and to foster interactions between researchers that apply a wide range of methods and techniques to study the subcortex.

Organizing committee

We are grateful for the support of the Amsterdam Brain and Cognition (ABC), Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience (NIN), Amsterdam Neuroscience, and the Dutch Research Council (NWO).

Venue

The meeting will be held at the OBA Forum: OBA Congres, Oosterdokskade 143, 1011 DK Amsterdam. It’s a five minute walk from Amsterdam Central Station.

Attendence is free, and includes coffee/tea, lunch, and afternoon drinks.

Program

The meeting is organized around three themes: Fundamental Neuroscience, Computational Cognitive Neuroscience, and Translational clinical approaches including neurotechnology. Each theme will be covered with one session of talks, plus a poster session covering all themes. All speakers will be selected from the submissions with an emphasis on young scientists (PhD students and post-doctoral researchers).
