Physiological

Dear “Humboldtianer”, finality to unify effort, criteria, We will to develop a transdiciplinar opinions, visions and mainly to “Humboldt-Kollegs” symposium on establish an scenario for direct contact physiological sciences emphasizing the and to facilitate an exchanging using contributions from different disciplines the benefits of the Humbolt-Network. A to the understanding of life at different combination of young investigators and level of complexity including brain experienced researchers is the ideal functions and mental states. The formulation to assume this challenge. interactions among investigators coming from different fields of Coordinator : knowledge with different point of Prof.J.A González-Hernández views, but with a common interest, will Department of Applied Physiology allows a reconstruction of a life picture Hnos Ameijeiras Hospital that come closer to the “truth” and can Sponsors : overcome the borders. -AvH- Foundation -Cuban Society of Physiological We are calling the “Humboldtianer” to Sciences participate in a two-day sessions of -Cuban Society of Neurosciences conferences and an open discussions focused on the physiology with the Official language : English
