Abstract

The 8th World Congress of Neuroscience was organised jointly by the International Brain Research Organization (IBRO) and the Italian Society of Neuroscience (SINS) at Florence, Italy from July 14-18, 2011. This was truly a global and large event reflecting IBRO’s core mission of promoting international collaboration and exchange of scientific information as it was attended by more than 4200 neuroscientists including 1500 from developing nations. The meeting was a major event as IBRO was celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2011 and SINS was celebrating 150th anniversary of birth and Unity of Italy. The venue was centrally located at Medicean Fortress (Fortezza da Basso) close to the main railway station of Florence which provided admirable congress facilities to run several scientific sessions concurrently. Most of the delegates were accommodated within walking distance of the fortress, ranging from 5-star hotels to budget/student accommodation. Dr. Gaetano Di Chiara, Cagliari, Italy was the chairperson of local organising committee of this Congress.
