Conference Description
The Amygdala Function in Emotion, Cognition and Disease GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.
The seminar will encompass a breadth of research dedicated to understanding the function of amygdala and extended amygdala systems in the field of neuroscience, relating to a range of clinically relevant areas such as affective and substance use disorders. The seminar will foster meaningful discussions of unpublished work and engagement between early career scientists with the aim of forming a strong network of peer support among emerging leaders in amygdala research. A major goal of this seminar is to highlight and celebrate the diversity of the amygdala from both a community and scientific perspective.
