NOTE: Given the situation the whole world is facing with the COVID-19 and the travel restrictions within the next few months, we have decided to be on the safe side and cancel the meeting. We are really sorry and sad to come to this decision, but this is, as we say in France, a case/question of « force majeure ». As 2021 will be the year of the « inhibition » GRC, we are considering to organize this meeting again in April 2022.

Looking forward to seeing your in Marseille, sooner or later!

Best regards,

Rosa Cossart and Dominique Debanne

FRESH LOOK ON BRAIN INHIBITION

This year, the subject will be inhibition. This is a major issue since synaptic or intrinsic inhibition defects are at the root of neurological diseases such as epilepsy but also psychiatric diseases such as schizophrenia. In addition, inhibitory circuits orchestrate neural activity under physiological conditions and are therefore at the origin of most major brain functions. A panel of 18 local, national (Paris, Saclay) and international (USA, UK, Switzerland, Germany) experts in the field of synaptic and intrinsic inhibition was selected to present their latest results. And this year again, the meeting will take place in a unique venue, the prestigious Hôtel Intercontinental Hôtel Dieu in Marseille, which provides this event with exceptional working conditions, concentration and exchanges.
