International Congress on Neuroethology (ICN2024) Conference
Abstract
This proposal requests support for primarily early career researchers to attend the 16th International Congress of Neuroethology (ICN) in Berlin, Germany from July 28th to August 2nd, 2024. The ICN is the official meeting of the International Society for Neuroethology (ISN). Neuroethology is a branch of neuroscience focused on the neural mechanisms underlying natural behavior. Research in this multidisciplinary field seeks to bridge the gap between neural mechanisms and behavior in the context of evolutionary processes. The complexity of this task necessitates combining various levels of analysis, from molecular and genetic to computational, across invertebrate and vertebrate species. This comparative approach facilitates the identification of common brain organization principles as well as detection mechanisms that enhance behavioral performance, which can subsequently be implemented computationally or technologically. Many of the topics that will be discussed at the ISN align well with research interests of the Air Force. The congress will be held at the Henry Ford Building, belonging to the Freie Universitat Berlin. The Program Committee has lined up 2 founder talks, 9 plenary talks and 12 invited symposia with a plethora of informative contributions on the cutting edge of neuroethology. Two poster sessions and 12 participant symposia are also being planned to cover all aspects of neuroethology. As the major scientific meeting of the ISN, the ICN provides a critical venue for researchers from all over the world, including scientists at different professional ranks to meet informally and discuss research, theory, and techniques in neuroethology. The comparative, interdisciplinary, and collaborative focus makes the ICN an essential scientific platform for sharing novel insights into brain function and behavior across the animal kingdom.
