“The third annual conference hosted by the UC Irvine Center for Neural Circuit Mapping (CNCM) was held on August 21–23, 2023, at the Beckman Center of the National Academies of Science and Engineering in Irvine, California. Additional events also took place on August 24 on the UC Irvine campus. Hurricane Hillary generated additional anticipation ahead of the conference as she was forecasted to hit Irvine the night before the meeting, and to be the biggest storm in Irvine in ~100 years! To everyone’s relief, Hillary mostly petered out and was downgraded to a tropical storm by Saturday night. Thus, despite the “virtual option” we made available, nearly everyone attended the conference in person.”
