The second Neuroscience Seminar Day @ the
University of Malta was held on the 5th and 6th of July
2011 at the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery. The
principal aim of this day was to create a forum in which
Maltese and Italian neuroscientists could meet. Academics
involved in this field benefit substantially by meeting and
interacting with international colleagues, and thereby
developing new collaborations. This view is held not only
by myself, but also by Professor Richard Muscat, ProRector
for Research and Innovation, who is always highly
supportive of the development of the field of neuroscience
and of research in general in Malta. My second objective
in organising these neuroscience seminars is to offer the
opportunity for our medical and science students and also
the general public to get to know about new developments
in the field of brain research achieved by both Maltese and
foreign scientists.peer-reviewe
