Abstract

It is my pleasure to welcome you to Malta, for the 6th Mediterranean Neuroscience Conference. While I augur you a most constructive and successful conference, I do hope you will also have some time to enjoy the rich cultural and historical heritage of our islands. Let me begin by congratulating the Mediterranean Neuroscience Society, and the Malta Neuroscience Network of the University of Malta, along with your collaborators, for organising this important conference. I am informed that there approximately 450 delegates, participating in this conference, including many students. I feel very privileged to be among the brains of the Mediterranean region, and the world, while you are focusing your attention on the incredible power of the human brain!
