Cerebellum and Disease Models - Workshop The Norwegian Academy of Sciences, Oslo - May 27, 2004 The primary goal of this workshop is to initiate a discussion among investigators that are interested in cerebellar function and dysfunction from different perspectives, to explore long term possibilities for synergies at the European level. The workshop also includes speakers who are not primarily studying the cerebellum but who have access to methods and approaches that are highly needed also in future cerebellar research. The workshop is funded by the Centre for Molecular Biology and Neuroscience, University of Oslo, and the EU Neuroinformatics project CEREBELLUM. The meeting is organized by the Neural Systems and Graphics Computing Laboratory, University of Oslo. |
