The scientific highlight of the year: Barrels and Neuroscience 2024
Unusually early, this year the conferences took place at the beginning of October in Chicago. At this impressive place, the 37th edition of Barrels showcased excellent science, with invited speakers like Fritjof Helmchen, Allison Barth, Michael Economo and Natalia de Marco Garcia. Also the presentation by Felix Preuß was well received so that the Institute for Neuroanatomy was leaving a memorable impression. At Neuroscience it felt a little “empty” since only ca. 23.000 participants were present (in contrast to 35.000 in the prolific years). Nevertheless, there was much to learn from the Allen Institute, our Neuronex-Working Memory-Consortium and all the other colleagues from around the work who eagerly presented their latest findings. Looking forward to seeing you all again in San Diego 2025!
