Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to announce the workshop 

Linking structure, dynamics and function in neuronal networks: old challenges and new directions

at CNS*2025 on the mornings of July 8 and 9 in Florence, Italy. 

This workshop provides a platform to discuss possible approaches for integrating the fundamental aspects of structure, dynamics, and function. In particular, the workshop aims to identify the properties of neural networks that make them suitable models for neural computation. Additionally, it seeks to define a minimal set of features leading to functional neural networks, thereby addressing conserved evolutionary principles.

Details about the program can be found on our workshop homepage:

Below is the list of confirmed speakers:
  • Gorka Zamora-Lopez
  • Mariia Popova
  • Douglas Zhou
  • Friedrich Schuessler
  • Petra Vertes
  • Lidia Ripoll-Sánchez
  • Anna Levina
  • Katharina Wilmes
  • Leo Agueci
  • Agostina Palmigiano
  • Melika Payvand

The workshop will conclude with a panel discussion moderated by Claus C. Hilgetag.

We are looking forward to seeing you soon in Florence!

Best wishes from Kiel, Cambridge and Hamburg
