During his career in neuroscience professor Gilles van Luijtelaar has been involved in many aspects of neural communication. Educated as a psychologist with special interest in the relation between electrical brain activity and behaviour, he started his research on the function of REM sleep. However, soon absence epilepsy came on his path. This topic of epilepsy, the ‘great teacher of neuroscience’, made him an expert in the various aspects of neural communication, and as a consequence he himself became a great teacher of many students from all over the world. The research of professor van Luijtelaar and his students yielded essential new insights into the neurobiological underpinning of absence epilepsy. The Donders Centre for Cognition, cordially presents this symposium, during which, with many international speakers, we will celebrate professor van Luijtelaar’s professional career and all the high level contributions he has made to the area of neurobiology and psychopharmacology.
