We announce virtual minisymposium titled 'Subcortical neural processing of saliency' organized by the University of Veterinary Medicine for 17th December 2020 (NEW DATE).
The goal of this neuroscience meeting is to recruit talks which explore how animals extract behaviorally relevant features from the sensory landscape.
The symposium is free of charge and held in English. The duration of the talks should be no more than 20 minutes.
Please submit your application to the following address until 3rd December with a short description of your research:
