EBRAINS-Italy supports a 2-day “Multiscale Modeling of Brain Systems” workshop at SUNY Downstate, Brooklyn, April 9–10, 2026.
About this Event

The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers interested in multiscale modeling of brain systems under both physiological and pathological conditions, fostering discussion between modelers and experimentalists, and across cellular, circuit, and systems-level approaches. The program includes talks from an exciting group of multidisciplinary speakers from top universities in the region, including Columbia, Princeton, Yale, Brown, NYU, Weill Cornell, Nathan Kline Institute, and SUNY Downstate.
