The Neurosciences from Basic Research to Therapy: Proceedings of the 29th Göttingen Neurobiology Conference and the 5th Meeting of the German Neuroscience Society 2003

This volume serves as the formal record of the 29th Göttingen Neurobiology Conference and the 5th Meeting of the German Neuroscience Society, held in 2003. Compiled and edited by Norbert Elsner, the work documents a pivotal moment in German academic neurobiology, capturing the collaborative research environment of the early 2000s. These proceedings were published to ensure that the cutting-edge findings discussed during the joint sessions were preserved for the scientific community, bridging the gap between fundamental laboratory discoveries and evolving therapeutic applications.

The editorial vision behind this collection was to synthesize diverse neurobiological disciplines into a cohesive narrative, reflecting the rigorous interdisciplinary approach favored by the German Neuroscience Society. Professor Norbert Elsner, a prominent figure in the field known for his expertise in insect neurobiology and his long-standing role in facilitating these Göttingen meetings, sought to provide a comprehensive look at the state of brain research at the time. The volume was received by the academic community as an essential reference for researchers and students alike, prized for its detailed inclusion of the talks and poster presentations that defined the conference's agenda.
