Functional architecture and operational principles of cortical networks January 19, 2010

Pre-congress satellite meeting of the IBRO International Workshop 2010

Important notice

Participation in the symposium is free, but everyone has to register, since the size of the lecture room is limited (160). Please, register on the same page as for the IBRO Workshop by clicking on the appropriate box. Registration for this event will be stopped after reaching 120, thus you better hurry. The entire symposium will be transmitted via a video system to lecture halls of the Pécs Medical School, this way those, who cannot register for this symposium, can still listen to the lectures there. Those who attend the satellite symposium can reserve accommodation from the 19th of January through the IBRO Workshop.
