Membrane Trafficking in Health and Disease: Focus on Neurological Diseases

In the last thirty years, tremendous progress has been made in the elucidation of the molecular and cellular mechanisms regulating membrane trafficking and turnover in mammalian cells, e.g., exocytosis, endocytosis and the lysosomal clearance of proteins and lipids through autophagy. The field is now able to explore how defects of membrane trafficking can lead to diseases, particularly neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders. The school will overview the last decades of seminal advances in the field: the lessons learned about regulated and unconventional exocytosis, the role of lysosomes in degradation and secretion, the dynamics, metabolism and signalling of lipids, and the role of the immune system in regulating the synapse and neuronal function.

EITN EBRAINS Fall School in Computational Neuroscience

The EITN Fall School in Computational Neuroscience consists of a 10-day course in theoretical and computational neuroscience, from cellular to whole-brain levels. The course is structured in thematic days with lectures, tutorials, and project work.

The course is typically aimed for PhD students, young postdocs, or master students interested to learn more about techniques of computational neuroscience, and the use of various simulation environments for model building. The students will form thematic groups to work on predefined subjects, with the help of tutors.

The course will cover cellular models, models of brain signals, circuit models and networks, mean-field models, and whole-brain models. There will be lectures and tutorials associated with these topics.

Organizers:

Damien Depannemaecker (AMU), Alain Destexhe (CNRS), Viktor Jirsa (AMU)

30e Meeting in Toxinology (RT30) of the French Society for Toxinology (SFET)

The French Society on Toxinology (SFET, http://sfet.asso.fr/international/) is a small non-profit association created in 1993 in accordance with the “French law 1901” status. Since then, 29 SFET Meetings were held in Paris, France, and three others were co-organized with foreign toxinology societies (IST, GT, SITOX). Since 2005, the official language of the meeting is English. This year, for the very first time the 30th meeting (RT30) will take place in Hôtel Saint-Paul in the beautiful city of Nice (https://lesaintpaul-hotel.fr/).

As every year, this event will bring together about a hundred researchers, doctors, pharmacists, industrials, and students involved in toxin research, whatever the plant, bacterial, or animal origin of these toxins. In addition to the traditional nine invited speakers, who are international experts in this field of research (see our preliminary programme), other French and foreign researchers will be presenting oral communications selected on abstracts and/or posters.
