The Social Brain
5 October 2014 - 8 October 2014
This conference is part of a series of high-level meetings on the neurosciences in Europe. It will be held in Copenhagen, from 5 to 8 October 2014.
Co-organised by The Brain Prize and the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS, the major neuroscience association in Europe), these bi-annual conferences will bring together outstanding researchers in key broadly defined areas of contemporary neuroscience to discuss current concepts and define challenges for future research.
Topics of the conference include: development of the social brain and of social behaviour during childhood and adolescence; interrelationships between social interactions and mental health; neurobiological mechanisms of social learning and motivation; how autism spectrum disorders relate to social interactions and social learning; whether and how specific brain networks have a predominant role in social interactions; the neurobiology of selected social behaviours; the neurobiology of theory of mind, and the roles of mirror neurons; conserved molecular mechanisms for social control of learning and behaviour.
Deadline for applications: 25 July 2014To know more about the invited speakers and sessions, please visit: http://www.fens.org/Meetings/Brain-Conferences/The-Social-Brain/(opens in new window)
