Our lab participated in the first Thematic Workshop of the In2Primates International Training Network (ITN). The workshop took place in Rome, and was hosted by Sapienza University Rome, one of the participant institutions of the ITN.
In2Primates is a European wide network focusing on primate neurobiology, and spanning several institutes from France, Germany, Greece, Italy, UK, and Belgium.
The thematic workshop covered: (1) updates on current projects of the ITN, (2) the use of scientific tools in neuroscience, and also (3) the latest research findings from principal investigators from both within and outside the ITN.
It was great to see the latest and greatest research on primate neurobiology from all over the world, and also including translational applications in brain-machine interfaces!
At the workshop, our lab described our latest observations on subcortical mechanisms for coordinating eye movement behavior. We particularly studied brainstem pre-motor nuclei and related them to the midbrain superior colliculus (SC) and the primary visual cortex (V1).
