Synopsis
If you are interested in this meeting but not yet ready to register, you can sign up for updates here and our team will keep you updated regarding deadline reminders and grant opportunities relating to this meeting only.
Neural development continues throughout life in the mammalian brain. This conference will bring together leaders from diverse fields, such as embryonic cortical development, adult neurogenesis, patient-derived stem cell-based 2D and 3B brain organoid disease modelling, direct reprograming and transplantation to discuss recent advances and remaining gaps in the understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms regulating neural stem cell activity, neural fate specification and functional significance of circuitries modified by the addition of new neurons in health and diseases.
Student Offer
Take advantage of this fantastic opportunity for students! Fully paying academics can bring a student for only $960. Unfortunately, Postdocs are not eligible. Both registration packages include; accommodation for the 8, 9 ,10 Feb 24 (on a shared basis for students) and a food and beverage package for the conference period.

Location
Cancun is a delightful combination of natural beauty, islands, ecological reserves and white sandy beaches. However, besides sun, sand and sea, this destination also offers an infinite variety of underwater activities to choose from: the diving, snorkelling and fishing here are outstanding and you will find an undersea world packed with tropical fish that live on the second largest barrier reef in the world. Sports enthusiasts might choose one of the many eco-tourism activities, such as cycling or hiking through the tropical forest or kayaking through mangroves, or something a little more adventuresome, like zip lining through the treetops.
Apart from the more well-known ancient Mayan archealogical sites such as Tulum, Cobá and Chichén Itzá you may like to visit the Aktun Chen caverns, voted one of the Top 10 underwater walks by National Geographic described as a truly magical experience.
