Join us on May 8 for a full-day in-person event exploring this year’s theme: “Heterogeneity in Neuroscience: Finding Unity in Uniqueness”.

We will bring together diverse perspectives—from cellular models to patient studies to industry viewpoints—to cover the entire spectrum of individual differences to universal principles in neuroscience. Expect engaging discussions on translational neuroscience, personalized brain health, and cutting-edge approaches to understanding variability in the brain.

Program

The day will be filled with 4 sessions addressing these topics:

  1. The cellular basis of cognition
  2. Stress and how to counter it
  3. Myelin and valorisation
  4. AI & neuroscience

A detailed program scheme will follow soon.

Keynote speakers

Dr. Marie-Ève Tremblay

University of Victoria, Canada

Short Abstract

Marie-Ève Tremblay works on neurobiology of aging and cognition. She investigates microglia-synapse interactions and develops non-invasive brain imaging.

Dr. Wia Baron

UMC Groningen

Short Abstract

Dr. Wia Baron studies myelin biogenesis and myelin repair, focusing on multiple sclerosis.

Prof. Pim Haselager

Radboud Universiteit

Short Abstract

Prof. Pim Haselager focuses on philosophy, psychology, and the social implications of AI and neuroscience.

Poster presentation

There is an opportunity to present your scientific poster at the TN2 Symposium. Therefore, your content should align with the TN2 philosophy of translating neuroscience knowledge, with a special focus on this year’s symposium theme: Heterogeneity in Neuroscience: Finding Unity in Uniqueness. Submit your abstract, and the TN2 organizing committee will review all poster submissions. Due to limited space, only a selection of posters will be approved. Submission of the abstract is possible until the 24th of April.
