The Latin-American Summer School in Computational Neuroscience [LACONEU] seeks to advance the field of Computational Neuroscience in Latin America by utilizing advanced mathematical and computational science tools, along with their applications in biomedical research and clinical practice. This interdisciplinary exploration of brain function, which integrates neuroscience, mathematics, and computational techniques, enhances our comprehension of brain activities in both healthy and diseased conditions. It also propels notable progress in education, theoretical models, brain imaging, and biomedical treatments. At this Summer School, our goal is to establish an engaging and interactive environment where students and researchers can exchange ideas, based on fundamental theoretical and practical knowledge of computational neuroscience, to encourage regional internationalization. This initiative aims to build strong and enduring collaborations between Latin America and more developed nations. The distinguished Faculty team involved in this Summer School offers a unique chance to significantly advance research in this field within our countries.
The VII LACONEU 2025 School is being organized with the aim of enhancing both the understanding and the application of computational neuroscience across Latin America. Our objective is to connect theoretical neuroscience with computational techniques and experimental research. The school is designed to foster collaboration among young scientists, researchers, and students by equipping them with crucial skills and knowledge in the computational neuroscience field, thereby encouraging innovation and excellence. We strongly advocate for applications from women and underrepresented groups in science, as LACONEU is devoted to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion within the neuroscience community. Through cultivating a diverse and inclusive setting, the school seeks to empower all participants to drive progress in computational neuroscience.
