The Karger Workshop is a one-day symposium on a specific topic in comparative or evolutionary neurobiology, organized by one or more members of the J. B. Johnston Club and sponsored by S. Karger AG. The 2021 Karger Workshop will be held on Thursday, November 11th, 2021.
The 2021 Karger Workshop is titled “Conservation, divergence and convergence in amygdala evolution” and is being organized by Loreta Medina and Ester Desfilis.
