Bräuner-Osborne, and Finn Cilius Nielsen

The Benzon symposia are international conferences on front line research 
in medical, pharmaceutical and related sciences funded by the Alfred 
Benzon Foundation.

The idea of the 67^th Benzon Symposium *“Bringing Circuit for Movement 
Together”* is to bring together the world’s leading scientist together 
who work in different areas of movement control and regulation. A 
particular aspect is that the conference will bridge the sensory, 
cognitive, and emotional aspects of movement control as well as new 
computation approaches. With its lay-out it will create an intense and 
interactive environment for both young and experiences scientist.

The Symposium will be a four-day scientific meeting, Monday to Thursday 
from 09:00 to 17:30. The format will be a combination of 
state-of-the-art lectures by invited speakers, selected oral-poster 
presentations and poster sessions.

*Sessions:*

  * Functional organization of brainstem circuits controlling breathing
    and orofacial expression
  * Functional and molecular organization of spinal circuits controlling
    locomotion
  * Brainstem circuits for control of motor behavior
  * Action selection and motor strategies
  * Beyond the connectome: neuromodulation
  * Planning, motor learning, and decision making
  * Sensory-motor integration
  * Integration of cognitive brain functions and movement

*Confirmed invited speakers:*

  * Ole Kiehn (DK)
  * Claire Wyart (F)
  * Mackenzie Mathis (CH)
  * Karl Deisseroth (USA)
  * May-Britt Moser (N)
