Brain bioenergetics – From behavior to pathology
June 28 & 29, 2016 – EPFL
This symposium will address emerging issues on the role of brain bioenergetics for brain function, behavior and psycho- and neuro-pathologies. World-leading experts will provide recent insights from the fields of brain, behavior and metabolism, and their interplay.
