Happy and science-infused CSANers after a three-day 'Center for Systems Neurobiology' retreat in beautiful Vadstena! CSAN Linköpings universitet

The opening day focused on 'Central regulation of metabolism', chaired by our director, Heilig Lab and featuring great speakers: Roger Adan, @Dickson_Lab, Linda Engström, and Vincent Prevot! We also had a guided tour of the Mental Asylum Museum. Det var inte bättre förr.

The spotlight of the second day was on the 'Insular cortex,' honoring the memory of Bug Craig. Chaired by Anders Blomqvist, it began with a tribute to Craig's work and featured exciting talks by Henry Evrard, Fabienne Picard, Marc Wittmann, and Hugo Critchley.

The 2nd day also included an intriguing lecture by Claes Wahlestedt, MD PhD on optimizing gene/protein expression in the brain & a pre-dinner run around Vadstena led by Johan Brask, David Engblom, Fredrik Linder and Esther Visser, excellent runners *and* scientists. Sometimes you can have it all.

The last day, was chaired by Ulrika Ådén and focused on 'Developmental neurobiology', featuring super interesting talks by Stefan Thor, Fredrik Lanner, Rebecca Knickmeyer, Ulrika Ådén. A great conclusion of the retreat!

The retreat was everything a retreat should be – fun and interesting! A big thanks to Sofia Gripenbäck for organizing it so well! And catching up with a friend from all the way in Calgary, Leah Mayo, was truly fantastic. Looking forward to seeing you again soon!
