Network Neuroscience 2022

About

A focal impetus behind the Network Neuroscience approach is that it provides a framework for interpreting the brain as an interconnected system. This approach offers quantitatively different maps of the brain where networks, consisting of nodes (e.g., genes, neurons or brain regions) and links (e.g., interactions, synaptic, anatomical or functional connections) are endowed with topological properties. It also provides a novel framework for studying fundamental aspects of brain organization including its complexity at all spatiotemporal scales. In particular, a Network Neuroscience approach permits structural and anatomical analyses of the brain from the molecular, to the neuronal, to the macroscopic and behavioral scales. Critical to the development of Network Neuroscience is the necessity of a forum to discuss and understand the brain at these various levels. Moreover, such a forum also codifies and facilitates more cross-disciplinary communication critical to the advancement of scientific discovery.

3:30: Poster session
Join us on the Network Neuroscience 2022 poster wall. By signing in with GitHub, you can join our community of network neuroscience enthudsiasts, and see and use the global chat on the posterwall. Scrolling down, you find an alphabetic list of this year's posters and clicking them will bring you to the poster with the little camera icon to join the video chat room of this poster. Green icons means someone is connected, and the little number indicates how many people are connected to each room.
If you only want to join the poster session, you can take the shortcut directly to the posterwall.

4pm GMT: Closing

Registration

Network Neuroscience is a satellite of the main NetSci conference. You can register for Network Neuroscience through the NetSci website - select "Satellites & School Only" if you only wish to attend Network Neuroscience and other satellites. The $30 USD registration fee will grant you access to all of the NetSci affiliated satellites, including Network Neuroscience. You will also be granted access to Network Neurocience if you register for the whole NetSci conference.
