CIN-NIPS-Asia Pacific Systems Neuroscience Symposium 2022
We were very happy to host the tenth CIN-NIPS Systems Neuroscience Symposium this year, which took place on March 7 and March 10, 2022. The event was online this time due to the pandemic situation, but it represents a continuous tradition of bilateral symposia between our institute and the National Institute for Physiological Sciences in Okazaki, Japan.
The symposium featured 20 speakers not just from the CIN and NIPS, as was traditionally the case, but also from Shanghai, Peking, and Kyoto. The symposium also featured a variety of topics, from social communication to motor control and novel methodologies. There were many engaged discussions of state-of-the-art science being done at the different institutes.
The inclusion of additional asian participants beyond our NIPS colleagues was very interesting, and it made the name of “CIN-NIPS-Asia Pacific Systems Neuroscience Symposium” more apt for the event.
We look forward to hosting our Asian colleagues in real life next year.
