Conference “The Neurobiology of Mental Health”
This Conference aims at bringing together basic and translational research leaders, to foster a conversation on how research on neurobiology and psychiatry can synergize to improve the understanding and treatment of psychiatric diseases.
The scientific program is structured around the concept of research domains, highlighting the neurobiology of major cognitive functions and how their dysfunction impacts on disease. Each of five half-day sessions will focus on one major cognitive function through four main talks. In addition, each session will include a keynote lecture by a psychiatrist. A few short talks selected from the abstracts submitted by participants will complete each session.
The two-and-half day conference will be held at Campus Biotech in Geneva.
The anticipated size is about 200 participants.
Labex Bio-Psy – Cours « Frontiers in Biological Psychiatry »

NeuroFrance 2017, Bordeaux
Le colloque de la Société des Neurosciences fait peau neuve et devient NeuroFrance !
Le format revisité : deux fois plus de symposiums, la possibilité pour les jeunes chercheurs de présenter leurs travaux dans un symposium, des sessions spéciales, des rencontres avec des philosophes … et bien d’autres initiatives concoctées par la communauté bordelaise !
Ecole thématique – Transports Ioniques
Organisée sous la tutelle du CNRS par le laboratoire STIM de l’université de Poitiers.
L’école se déroulera à Poitiers du 28 juin 2016 au 1 juillet 2016 sur une durée totale de 3,5 jours.
Trois grands axes seront développés d’un point de vue théorique et pratique au cours de cette période :
Axe 1 : «le canal dans son environnement membranaire : Courants ioniques, flux et criblage»
Axe 2 : «le canal dans son environnement cellulaire : marquage, localisation et tri cellulaire»
Axe 3 : «le canal et ses impacts : motilité/mobilité cellulaire et communication intercellulaire»
Pour toute question complémentaire relative au fonctionnement de notre école, à sa logistique ou à son contenu, contacter le Pr Jean-François Faivre (ou 05 49 45 36 72).
11th European Congress of Neuropathology
The European Confederation of Neuropathological Societies (Euro-CNS) and the French Society of Neuropathology warmly invite you to attend the 11th European Congress of Neuropathology in Bordeaux (France), the full of light and utterly bewitching capital of wine. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, close to the famous vineyards and the Atlantic Ocean, Bordeaux offers superb touristic opportunities.
The meeting will be held in the Cité Mondiale Convention Center conveniently located on the left bank of the Garonne river in the historic heart of the wine-making hub.
The scientific program will cover many aspects of neuropathology and will interact with other areas of neuroscience. Leading neuropathologists and neuroscientists will be invited for plenary lectures. Parallel sessions of symposia and workshops will provide key updates and debate on recent progress in diagnostic neuropathological practice and in other interactive scientific approaches. Abstracts submitted to the Congress will be selected for inclusion in these sessions where relevant. Several sessions on different topics will also permit a large selection of posters to be presented on platform, and a two hours interactive slide seminar will be organized.
A wide range of sponsorship opportunities are available, which have been designed to ensure that companies achieve their objectives by participating in the Congress.
Note that travel grants are available.
Abstract submission deadline for oral and poster presentation is fixed April 1st, 2016

Brain Connectivity Workshop 2016, Marseille (France)
We are happy to announce the 15th edition of the Brain Connectivity Workshop (BCW) to take place in Marseille from the 22nd to the 24th of June 2016.
The Brain Connectivity Workshop (BCW) is a well-established workshop series, which has been held annually in Europe, USA, Australia and Asia for the last 14 years. BCW is an official satellite of the annual meeting of OHBM, which is held in Geneva, Switzerland in 2016. BCW attracts every year a public of 100-200 participants working in cognitive, computational and clinical neurosciences. The discussions are centered on all themes around brain connectivity including structural and functional imaging, modeling, brain function and clinics. BCW is highly influential in the field due to the traditionally high quality of speakers and a long track record of innovation. For instance, both, the Connectome and The Virtual Brain have been born within the BCW community.
The typical BCW format —a first educational day of lectures held by international authorities in their fields, followed by two days of shorter talks with ample time for discussion provides a unique forum for creativity, controversy and brainstorming. BCW 2016, introduced by a first day of tutorials by experts in their field, will feature focused sessions on themes such as perturbing the brain, mapping the brain, and brain dynamics in function (cognition) and dysfunction (epilepsy).
Registration will open soon.
NB: Please note that European Cup of Football will be held in France during this period and hotels are going to be booked fast!
