The Croatian Neuroscience Congress with international participation is a biennial event bringing together all of Croatian Neuroscience, as well as collaborators from worldwide-based laboratories. In 2023, the speakers and participants come from main CroatianUniversities: University of Zagreb, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek, University of Split andcUniversity of Rijeka, along with speakers from institutions based in Hungary, Germany, UK, USA and Chile.The aim of the conference is to facilitate the discussion between neuroscientists working on different areas of research, presenting the latest advances in neuroscience, in addition to highlighting the research from top Croatian laboratories that may be underrepresented at larger international neuroscience conferences. Another objective is to showcase high impact projects beingimplemented in Croatia, with focus on EU-funded projects such as “Experimental and clinical research of hypoxic-ischemic damage in perinatal and adult brain” carried out at the Centre of Excellence for Basic, Clinical and Translational Neuroscience (CoRE – Neuro), funded by the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund.The topics covered by the congress are intentionally broad to encourage multidisciplinary collaboration and include basic, clinical and cognitive neuroscience, hypoxic-ischemic damage, molecularneuroscience, neurodegenerative disorders, neurodevelopmental basis of cognitive, mental and neurological disorders, neuropharmacology and sleep. We therefore welcome submissions related to all of these topics, especially manuscripts exhibiting an integrative or interdisciplinary approach to a specific research problem. Articles of all types will be accepted, including but not limited to: original research, short reports, review articles and perspective articles. It is our hope that this special issue will provide an overview of the current hot topics in neuroscience, expert opinions and most recent original research, representing a go-to collection to consult on latest trends in neuroscience.
