2nd Comprehensive Microneurography Course
June 16-27 2025, Prato, Italy
Building on the success of the inaugural Comprehensive Microneurography Course, The International Society for Microneurography will be holding a second hands-on course in June 2025.
As with the first course, the two-week course will include lectures on how to access different peripheral and cranial nerves with microneurography, discussion on the different types of neural signals one can obtain with microneurography, and the different approaches to analysis. Based on feedback received we will also be including dedicated sessions on analysis. The first week will be dedicated to recording from afferent axons, the second week to efferent axons.
Practical hands-on instruction in the technique will be provided in both weeks, with two sessions per day and six parallel stations that will provide attendees with opportunities to perform microneurography on each other, as approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee of Monash University.
The course will be taught by an international faculty of leading experts in microneurography and suit those with no experience of microneurography as well as those with experience wishing to explore different aspects of the technique. This year, we will be inviting attendees who currently perform microneurography, as well as those wishing to use microneurography to address specific questions, to give a short presentation of their current or planned work so that we can share our experience and learn from each other. We anticipate having a one-hour session each day for this purpose.
The course will be held at Monash Prato Centre, located in the picturesque city of Prato in Tuscany – 30 minutes by train from Florence. Take a virtual tour of the Centre here.
The course cost for academics/students is 1750 Euro for two weeks or 1000 Euro for one week, and includes morning and afternoon teas, buffet lunches, a Welcome Reception on the evening of Monday, June 16, and a Farewell Reception on the evening of Friday, June 27. We encourage registrants to attend for the full two weeks to maximise their learning experience and to take advantage of the reduced registration fee.
The course cost for industry/corporate attendees is 5250 Euro for two weeks or 3000 Euro for one week.
