Feedback on the M2 2021 scientific symposium

The Master 2 scientific conference of NeuroSchool, which took place between November 29 and December 1, 2021, focused on the neurobiology of addiction and drug abuse. On this occasion, not less than 12 conferences were offered!

Exchanges between researchers and students

The speakers presented the progress made in various fields such as addiction to alcohol, cannabis and cocaine. Breakthroughs were presented in terms of treatment strategies, studies in animal models, current technics and knowledge.

Each presentation was followed by open question sessions by Master students. The 12 speakers, who presented their production either on site (Faculty of Saint-Charles – Marseille), or by remote videoconference, are all researchers at the forefront of addiction issues. Find their topics below!

Eventually, The symposium took place in good conditions thanks to the organizers and Christelle Baunez (INT), that we thank a lot.
