Terra Incognita

Diving into the Subcortex 2021

The human subcortex remains terra incognita, a largely uncharted territory. Long-term efforts and advances in neuroanatomy, ultra-high field MRI, deep brain recording, and cognitive modeling are painting a rich and varied picture, which has very direct implication in fundamental and clinical neuroscience. This workshop aims to bring together some of the world’s experts in the subcortex to discuss recent results from multiple techniques and foster interactions within this often disregarded region of the brain.
