The programme of the symposium ‘Invasive Neurology & Neuroscience’, which will take place on 12 November at the Leibniz Institute of Neurobiology, aims to share the latest findings and discuss existing and planned collaborations at the interface of invasive neurology, including techniques such as deep brain stimulation, and neuroscience in Magdeburg. The list of speakers includes renowned scientists and doctors from Magdeburg University Hospital, the Leibniz Institute of Neurobiology and the German Centre for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) in Magdeburg.
