The international conference of the Society for Neuroscience (SfN) took place in Washington D.C. from 11-15 November. The SfN offers neuroscientists from all over the world a platform to present and discuss their work in poster sessions and symposia. Four posters from the Neuromotor and Training research area were presented by Claudia Voelcker-Rehage & Piesie Asuako, Julian Rudisch, Robert Stojan and Lena Kopnarski. The posters were attended by a large number of interested parties, with whom inspiring discussions were held.
