Primate Neurobiology Meeting 2013
Göttingen, Germany
March 11-13, 2013
(including special program for technicians and animal caretakers)
For the 6th Primate Neurobiology Conference we will meet in Goettingen (at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, Fassberg 11) again and we hope to welcome you to the event which is scheduled for March 11-13, 2013.
We would be happy if many of you would join the meeting to seize this unique opportunity to get together with colleagues. Please, tell others who might be interested in the topic and as yet are not in the mailing list.
We are putting together an interesting program for scientists. In addition there will be a separate program specifically for technicians and animal caretakers.
There will be posters and oral presentations as well as a forum for a discussion, a keynote lecture and a special program for technicians and animal caretakers. This year the meeting will include a special symposium for Prof. Klaus-Peter Hoffmann (see below).
This annual meeting intends to serve as a platform for European scientists, studying the electrophysiology of the central nervous system in awake behaving primates. It will allow them to discuss new results, established as well as upcoming new methods, questions of animal husbandry and welfare as well as legal issues regulating research on nonhuman primates. The format of the meeting will be deliberately informal in order to facilitate the exchange of information on any aspect of primate neurobiology and – in the long run – to allow us to speak out more audibly on behalf of this indispensable but yet very much endangered approach in the study of the brain. To this end, participants may present any aspect of their work at any stage – from the presentation of methods to that of concepts, from the introduction of very first results to the discussion of work that may have already been presented at other conferences. We will accommodate short oral presentations as well as posters. We encourage in particular students and postdocs working in nonhuman primate laboratories to participate and to consider presenting their projects.
Schedule information:
The meeting will start around noon on March 11th, 2013 and will end after lunch on March 13th. Note that the German Neuroscience Meeting starts on March 13th.
