FiNS 2013 focused on leading edge light microscopy approaches to understand brain structure and function.
The meeting  showcased new methodology, and also demonstrated how advanced optical microscopy methods are fast becoming central to neurobiological research, leading to fascinating research discoveries and stimulating conceptual advances.

The themes and methods covered ranged from measuring single molecule dynamics at synapses to imaging sensory processing in intact brains, including computational approaches.
