Welcome to the annual conference of the Club de Neurobiologie des Invertébrés !

The meeting is in English

The meeting will take place in a residence in Les Hautannes, 10 minutes from Lyon-centre by TER (regional express train) (Saint-Germain-au-Mont-d'Or) from May 12^th, 2pm, to May 13^th, 5pm.

Invertebrate models have enabled numerous breakthrough throughout the history of neuroscience. The research presented here is typically highly diversified, covering all aspects of aspects of neuroscience, from behavioral to cellular, genetic and molecular aspects, and involving experimental models such as the Drosophila fly, the honeybee, the nematode C. elegans nematode, as well as various species of aphids, locusts, butterflies, cockroaches and crustaceans, cockroaches and crustaceans. Research topics include neurodevelopment, normal and pathological neuronal function and ecology. The meeting provides an opportunity to disseminate the latestand technological developments, and fosters the emergence of collaborations
national and international level.
