Two World Famous Figures in the Field of Neuroscience Delivered Guest Lectures at the

School of Advanced Medical Sciences and Technologies

Vice President for Research at the school of Advanced Medical Sciences and Technologies referred to the successful organization of the neuroscience seminar, attended by two world famous figures of this field, in the school of Advanced Medical Sciences and Technologies on Monday January 2, 2016 as a major scientific event happening in the school recently.
 

According to the public relations of the school of Advanced Medical Sciences and Technologies, Prof. Ben-Ari and Prof. Hammond, two prominent neuroscientists of southern France in the fields of evolutionary neuroscience and electrophysiology, were invited by the Iranian Society of Neurosciences and supported by the Cognitive Sciences and Technologies Council to visit selected universities across Iran. They were also invited by the department of neuroscience at the school of Advanced Medical Sciences and Technologies on Monday January 2, 2016 to a scientific meeting, visited the laboratories of Stereology and Histomorphology and delivered speech in the school.
 

Highlights of the visit:

1. Discussion sessions with students and faculty members of the school around areas of research specialty in neuroscience as well as scientific cooperation between the INSERM Centre and the department of neuroscience.
2. Visit to the Histoplasmosis Morphological and Stereological Research Centers of the University and the discussion session between the guest professors and faculty staff over research projects related to neuroscience.
3. Participation of over 60 students and faculty members of the university and School of Advanced Medical Sciences and Technologies in the following seminars:

a.    Emerging views on the Brain Chemical Link to Autism Prof. Ben-Ari

b.    The Implications of Deep – Brain Stimulation in Applied Neuroscience by Prof. Hammond

These seminars were followed by a Question-and-Answer session, in which students and faculty staff participated actively.

It is expected that constant organization of such international meetings, attended by global figures in advanced sciences, not only influences the education and research, but also helps the university progress in the interdisciplinary areas of advanced sciences.
