1&2 September 2011, Nobel Forum, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden


Recently our lab hosted a 2-day symposium about neuroplasticity and cognition across the lifespan. A total of 106 (inter-)national students and research professionals registered for the event. Nineteen outstanding international speakers, as well as fourteen additional poster presenters, discussed their state-of-the-art research combining genetics, neuroimaging, cognition and intervention strategies. The abstracts are included in the program and can be downloaded in the menu on the left. Slides of several individual presentations can be downloaded by clicking on the appropriate speaker name. The organization would like to thank all participants for turning our symposium into a success and we hope to see you all at future meetings!
