About Conference




The Nencki Institute organized the 5th edition of Neurons in Action symposium (May 31st-June 2nd, 2023).

The 2023 edition of Neurons in Action featured 23 brilliant Neuroscientists from 17 reputed scientific institutes worldwide. Spread over 2 Keynote lectures and 6 plenary sessions, NiA will covered a range of topics central to interdisciplinary Neuroscience, including: Environmental influences and brain disorders – Neural Circuits and Behavior- Neuronal Mechanisms of Cognition- Neural Cell Biology- Interorgan communication between the brain and the periphery, and Mechanisms of Brain Disorders.
Neurons in Action provided several other forums for scientific exchange and networking in the form of Poster Session, Blitz Talks, and a Neuroparty. Our program also includes special training sessions for young Neuroscientists on Scientific Grant Writing and Scientific Communication Skills.

This project is supported by the Ministry of Education and Science (Ministra Edukacji i Nauki, Polska) as part of the "Excellent Science II - Support for scientific conferences" Program, grant number KONF/SP/0180/2023/01.
