Purpose of the symposium Understanding how human intelligence arises is the ultimate challenge for brain science. Powerful integration of modern circuit biology, computational and clinical perspectives will be essential. On July 24, we welcome to UTokyo some of the world’s thought leaders at the “Frontiers of Neurointelligence”. Please join us for a stimulating symposium at IRCN!

Purpose of the symposium We will hold a symposium 3S04m "Connectmic Approaches and Discoveries" in the morning of the 28th. The morning session may have only a short question and discussion time. We would like to have this satellite symposium held in the night to get more time for the discussion. Two speakers' talk time is 20 minutes each and the remaining 50 minutes are opened for the questions and discussion by attendees. We appreciate for your active participation.

Purpose of the symposium In this international symposium, we will discuss “How does animal’s individuality emerge?”. By discussing neural basis or the genetic/environmental factors, we will try to understand individuality in mental functions, such as cognitive faculties and personality. In addition to neural development and developmental brain science of model organisms, we will also try to integrate various research fields such as, comparative study of wild animals, evolutionary biology, innovative tools, big data, and mathematical models towards understanding individuality.

Purpose of the symposium Innovative and large-scale neuroscience projects using massive amounts of data have been uprising around the globe. Parallel to this trend, multidisciplinary projects, such as those integrating human and non-human primate neuroscience or epidemiology and MRI scanning (dubbed “population neuroscience”) have been established in Japan as well. In this symposium, leading neuroscience researchers from Japan and invited speakers coordinating neuroscience projects worldwide will share progress made in neuroscience through these projects and will discuss ideas for global cooperation to ensure further progress of such studies.
