The Limbic Structures of the Brain: from Bench to Bedside

About

Welcome to the University of Ioannina’s Summer School, an intensive international program designed to advance education and hands-on training in modern neuroscience. This immersive course focuses on the limbic structures of the brain, offering an in-depth exploration of their anatomy, physiology, and functional role in emotion, behavior, memory, and cognition.

Through a carefully structured program that combines expert-led lectures, interactive discussions, and practical laboratory sessions, participants will gain insight into both fundamental and translational aspects of neuroscience. Special emphasis is placed on the “bench-to-bedside” approach, highlighting how basic research findings are translated into clinical understanding and therapeutic strategies for neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders.

This Summer School provides a dynamic learning environment that encourages critical thinking, interdisciplinary exchange, and scientific networking, making it an ideal experience for participants seeking to strengthen their academic background and practical skills in neuroscience
