10th Congress of the French Society for Neuroscience in Marseille, May 24-27, 2011 in partnership with the SSN

The Society for Neuroscience in France is pleased to invite you to it's 10th biennial meeting, to be held in Marseille from May 24 to 27, 2011. With 10 plenary lectures, 18 symposia and about 800 poster presentations, all presented in English, this congress will bring together more than a thousand participants.

In addition, this will be an opportunity to discover Marseille, a city of over 2'000 years' history. Not only rooted in the Southern tradition, the city is also at the forefront of research in many areas, including neuroscience.

The city has three universities, two research federations in Neuroscience and numerous research laboratories accredited by the major agencies. Thanks to these infrastructures, Marseille gathers a community of more than 900 people working on all aspects of brain function, from the molecular to the integrative levels, from development to aging andfrom fundamental to clinically-relevant aspects.

In collaboration with two major university hospitals, Marseille training and research centre in Neuroscience focuses on the major brain diseases and on the development of new therapeutic approaches.


For this edition of its biennial meeting, the Society has established a partnership with the Swiss Society for Neuroscience whose representatives should be numerous in Marseille next year.


We take great pleasure in inviting you to Marseille and assure you of a warm-hearted welcome.
