Sessions address the assembly and function of inhibitory circuits for learning and memory; interneuron development and pathology; inhibition in non-human primates and humans; the diversity of GABAergic synapses and interneurons in health and neurodevelopmental disorders; GABAergic interneurons in visual processing, perception and decision-making; inhibition in models of sensory processing; inhibitory circuits underlying action, adaptation and behaviour; and hippocampal inhibition and its impact on neurological and neurodegenerative diseases. The programme reserves time for discussion after each talk, poster sessions open to all career stages and informal exchange; an associated Gordon Research Seminar for early-career scientists runs in conjunction and needs its own application.
