TIBBE Seminar Series starts next week! 22 April 2025
TIBBE
We are excited to announce the first TIBBE Seminar of the Series
Topic: Brain size, neuron number, and connectivity
Date: Tuesday, April 22, 2025
Time:
7 AM Seattle | 10 AM Baltimore | 3 PM UK | 4 PM Paris/Prague
Seminar on Theory in Brain Evolution Research:
Should brain size continue to be used as a measure of ‘behavioural flexibility’, or should neuron count be the go-to metric for cognition?
This event brings together two outstanding evolutionary neuroscientists to explore this question through presentations and an open discussion with the audience.
Speakers:
Kristina Kverková (Charles University, Czech Republic)
"Counting what counts: Why neuron numbers matter but are not the whole story"
Kei Yamamoto (Paris-Saclay, France)
"Different encephalization strategies: telencephalization in amniotes, mesencephalization in teleost fish"
Hosted by: Katja Heuer & Carmen Falcone
About TIBBE
