INTRODUCTION

A fundamental problem in neuroscience is to understand how the activation
of neuronal populations gives rise to higher order functions including
learning, memory, cognition, perception, action and ultimately conscious
awareness. Electrophysiological recordings have revealed considerable
information about the firing patterns of single neurons, but it remains
largely a mystery how collections of individual neurons interact to perform
these functions.  Understanding ensemble activity is critical to
understanding the brain.


CONFERENCE MISSION

The AREADNE Conferences have been created to gather global scientific
leaders who work on neural ensembles and establish a touch-point for the
widely disparate and hybrid field. With a beautiful setting on Milos,
the conferences have been carefully planned to foster discussion and
interaction between attendees to encourage the establishment of lasting
professional relationships.  The meetings continue our efforts to promote
systems neuroscience in Greece through creating a world-class forum for
cutting-edge research.  For 2026, we will be Celebrating Twenty Years of
AREADNE Conferences!
