2nd SYMPOSIUM: CONNECTION BETWEEN PHYSICS AND METABOLISM IN BRAIN FUNCTIONS

Following the success of the 1st international symposium (Barcelona, July 2024),we

are pleased to welcome you in Paris for this 2nd edition

About this Event

Metabolism and cellular mechanics are closely intertwined. Following the success of the 1st international symposium connecting physics and metabolism in brain functions (Barcelona, July 2024), we are pleased to welcome you in Paris for this 2nd edition. This event will bring together world experts in physics, chemistry, neurobiology, and philosophy with the aim of fostering new collaborations and promoting the so-called “night science”, an interdisciplinary approach by which new ideas arise and questions/ hypotheses are generated. Join us and interact with prestigious speakers who will discuss the physics of cellular trafficking, neurotransmission, sensory systems, and beyond. The symposium will also integrate musical pieces to deepen our quest for understanding the living.
