7th Bonn Brain³ Conference

States – Behaviour, Neural Circuits and Codes

Conference Description

BonnBrain³ stands at the forefront of cutting-edge scientific inquiry, uniting experts from diverse fields in a premier international conference focused on unraveling the complexities of states, behavior, neural circuits, and codes. This interdisciplinary scientific gathering prioritizes the presentation of groundbreaking and unpublished research, fostering insightful discussions after each talk and nurturing informal interactions among scientists at all career stages.

BonnBrain³: States – Behavior, Neural Circuits and Codes

The conference program showcases a diverse array of speakers and discussion leaders from esteemed institutions worldwide, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. In addition to these premier talks, BonnBrain³ provides dedicated time for poster sessions and a students’ organized symposium offering individuals at all career stages the opportunity for networking and presenting their research.

BonnBrain³ 2024 undertakes an interdisciplinary approach to explore the intricate interplay of brain and body states, neural networks and behavior. Individual sessions feature presentations from international experts in the areas of circuit and behavior evolution, the role of network, brain and body states in different behaviors as well as computational neuroscience. The conference integrates diverse scientific backgrounds, encouraging discussions among participants whose paths might not normally cross.

BonnBrain³ hopes to serve as a convergence point for diverse perspectives, promising to illuminate some of the most challenging and fascinating questions about the brain’s workings.

We are excited to announce the upcoming 7th Bonn Brain³ meeting, hosted by the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn, in collaboration with the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) and the Max Planck Institute for Neurobiology of Behavior – caesar. The meeting will kick-off at LVR – Landesmuseum Bonn for Archeology, Culture and Arts and continue at Venusberg Campus of the University Clinic Bonn.

Young Investigator Research Symposium

We are happy to announce that this year’s BonnBrain3 conference kicks off with a Young Investigator’s Research Symposium (YIRS). In this session, 10 young scientists have the opportunity to share their research and ignite discussion by presenting short talks (10 min talk, 5 min discussion). All BonnBrain3 conference participants are welcome to attend this session.

The audience at the YIRS will decide on the winner of the best talk prize.
All abstract submissions by young investigators (postdocs and doctoral students) for talks will be considered for the main conference and the YIRS with a one-talk-per-person policy.
