Cerebellum (GRS)

Gordon Research Seminar

Revealing the Multifaceted Nature of Cerebellar Function: Insights From Molecules to Behavior and Computation

August 5 - 6, 2023
Chair
Bates College
2 Andrews Road
Lewiston, Maine, United States
 Venue and Travel Information

Conference Description

The Cerebellum 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.

Cerebellar research is crucial to understanding motor control and associative learning, in addition to the numerous disorders in which the cerebellum has been implicated. This Cerebellum Gordon Research Seminar will highlight new insights into cerebellar development and function from behavioral, therapeutic, physiological, and computational perspectives.

Due to limited accommodations at this venue, guest housing is very limited. To request family/guest housing please reach out to your Conference Operations Associate.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Cerebellum" Gordon Research Conference (GRC). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Refer to the associated GRC program page for more information.
