| Abstract | The neuronal circuits in the brain (the connectome) are not static, but change continuously during the development and learning. Brain functions often result from an "emergent property" in which the information processing is qualitatively altered as a result of the dynamic changes in the connectome. However, the principles governing this process are not well understood. In this symposium, we will discuss various approaches to quantitatively and comprehensively understand the dynamic changes in the connectome and the resulting functional changes in neurons and neuronal circuits, and to elucidate the principles behind these changes. |

| Abstract | The Transformative Research Area （A） “Biology of Behavior Change” is quantitatively elucidating the relationship between multidimensional behavior change and the brain dynamics that generate behavior change. This second international symposium will focus on decision-making and social cognition, and will feature lectures by leading neuroscientists from around the world. Using a variety of experimental and theoretical approaches in humans, monkeys, and rodents, the symposium will explore the principles of brain dynamics that give rise to decision-making and social cognition. |

| Abstract | OptiNiSt (https://optinist.readthedocs.io) is an open source software tool that helps you to build neuroimage data analysis pipelines by comparing and combining multiple tools through graphical user interface and to produce data processing scripts. We will hold a hands-on tutorial session to promote this tool developed by the Brain/MINDS project for reproducibility and standardization of neural data analysis. You can use your own note PC to experience how to build a data analysis pipeline. |

| Abstract | The internal state of an animal changes continuously in response to the environment. The internal condition of the animal body also affects brain functions. Recent studies proposed that glial cells play a central role in the interaction between the brain and peripheral tissue as a bidirectional interface. Internal conditions of the body are presented to the brain via the glial interface. Reciprocally, glial cells transmit signals of the brain status to the peripheral organs and tissues. In this international symposium, we will have lectures on the latest research revealing such new functions and roles of glial cells in the brain by speakers who have been actively working at the front line of glial research. |

| Abstract | There remains a significant gap between research on information processing and synaptic plasticity in single neurons and studies on neural circuits responsible for higher brain functions in brain regions. After Neuro2024, we will invite four top scientists from each of these fields to Kagoshima. We will provide a forum for graduate students and young researchers involved in neuroscience in southern Kyushu to discuss research that bridges these levels of study. |
