Conference funded and supported by
Thalamus
Anatomy and Connectomics
30-31 October, 2023
at Max Planck Campus Tübingen, Germany
A two-day Hybrid conference:
talks, and discussions
Immerse in the intricate thalamus
All sensory, motor, and limbic information to the cortex passes via the thalamus. Furthermore, the interaction between various cortical areas also requires a thalamic engagement. Therefore, we need a better understanding of the human thalamus and its connectivity in health and disease.
The conference will cover topics related to the thalamus, including:
• Anatomy and connectivity of the thalamus
• The role of the thalamus in sensory processing, attention, and cognition
• Thalamus in various neurodegenerative disorders and psychiatric conditions
• Computational models of thalamic functions
• Novel imaging techniques and application to the study of the thalamus
The conference will attract a diverse audience of neuroscientists, clinicians,
and computational modelers interested in the thalamus. Attendees will benefit
from the opportunity to engage with leading experts in the field, learn about the
latest research findings, and exchange ideas and knowledge.
The Thalamus Conference aims to extend the dialogue and discussion on the thalamus that began with the previous online Thalamus e-Symposium.
