The core of the program of this satellite meeting is the concept of neuro-archeology that Yéhézkel BEN-ARI developed some years ago and the implications this has on treating brain disorders and of course the GABA polarity shift that is fundamental in brain development and altered by a large variety of brain disorders.
The meeting include speakers from a large range of expertise extending from drug development to clinicians and basic scientists.
Developing neurons generate unique Ionic currents and patterns, these validate the formation of functional brain networks. Early insults deviate these processes leading to misplaced/misconnected neurons that remain immature as extensively shown with the depolarizing/excitatory actions of GABA in immature neurons and many neurodevelopmental (Autism, Rett, FRX, etc.) and neurodegenerative disorders (Huntington’s or Parkinson disease).

This satellite meeting is aimed at bringing together basic scientists, clinicians and experts of drug development to illustrate why understanding brain development is required to treat brain disorders. Undergraduate and postdoctoral researchers are encouraged to submit a 1- page summary of their research. 1 PhD student and 1 Postdoc amongst the proposals will be selected by the scientific committee to present their project during a 10min talk, and receive 2K€ and 3K€ respectively.

Registration is  mandatory and a maximum of 150 places are available.

Promouvoir le dialogue entre les sciences et sociales et les sciences expérimentales et formelles est l’un des objectifs prioritaires retenu par le Collège des sociétés savantes académiques de France.

Dans ce cadre, le Printemps de l’interdisciplinarité “Sapiens interdisciplinaris : engagé.e.s pour l’avenir” vise à mettre en lumière des expériences de pratiques interdisciplinaires entre champs traditionnellement éloignés. Cette manifestation, en lien avec l’Année internationale des sciences fondamentales pour le développement durable, est organisée du 7 au 9 juin 2022 à Paris, sur le campus Jussieu avec le soutien de Sorbonne Université.

Chaque demi-journée est l’occasion d’explorer la genèse et la mise en œuvre de projets interdisciplinaires. Dans chaque cas, un binôme de chercheuses et chercheurs issus de disciplines éloignées et travaillant ensemble présentera à deux voix les ressorts, les complexités et les apports des projets développés.

Archéologie, écologie, philosophie, science-fiction, environnement, physique, climat, santé, patrimoine scientifique, etc., de grands enjeux de notre époque seront abordés tour à tour au fil des sessions. Les organisateurs ont souhaité conclure ces journées par une table-ronde intitulée « Comment former à l’interdisciplinarité ? »

Ces journées sont destinées aux membres de la communauté de recherche et d’enseignement supérieur ainsi qu’aux étudiant•e•s en Master. L’inscription, obligatoire, est gratuite.

Research discoveries are increasingly dependent on the development of new tools and technologies, as well as on the ability to process, manage and analyze the large amounts of data collected with these tools.

In this summer school, we will focus on several aspects of data preparation and analysis, as well as on the use of simulation and modeling tools capable of generating predictions. These tools will be applied to different data acquisition techniques such as electrophysiological recordings (e.g. EEG, intra or extracellular recordings) or image series from brain imaging (e.g. MRI).

Target audience:

Master and PhD students from the University of Strasbourg and other French and foreign universities are welcome to apply.

Priority will be given to students enrolled in a basic or medical neuroscience program, but students from other specialties will be able to participate as long as places are available.

There is no registration fee.

During the school (Sep. 5-10th), accomodation (but not travel) during the school (but not pre-school) will be offered to non-Strasbourg students. Accomodation expenses during the pre-school and travel for the entire event are to be borne with own fundings.

Students are encouraged to come with their own dataset.

How to apply:

1 – Send an email to philippe.isope@inci-cnrs.unistra.fr to express your intention to apply

2 – When ready, send your CV and a letter of recommendation to philippe.isope@inci-cnrs.unistra.fr

Full application deadline: May 15,2022.

Lecturers involved:

Demian Battaglia (LNCA,CNRS,Université de Strasbourg)
Samuel Garcia (CRNL, CNRS, Université de Lyon)
Romain Goutagny (LNCA,CNRS,Université de Strasbourg)
Axel Hutt (MIMESIS,INRIA, Université de Strasbourg)
Philippe Isope (INCI, CNRS,Université de Strasbourg)
Arvind Kumar (KTH, Stockholm, Sweden)
Christophe Pouzat (IRMA, CNRS, Université de Strasbourg)

The Symposium: From Cortical Microcircuits to Consciousness aims at bringing together the Human Brain Project’s neuroscientists and invited guests to present their latest achievements in understanding neurocircuit dynamics at microscales, meso- and macro-scales, including the emergence of consciousness. Theories of consciousness will be reviewed and challenged by new findings from brain circuits and behavior. The involvement of neuronal and neuroglial cells in brain functioning, memory, learning, cognition and consciousness in health and disease will be discussed from the experimental and theoretical perspective.

The Symposium will offer a hands-on session on The Virtual Brain, the platform of EBRAINS for constructing and simulating personalised brain network models. EBRAINS is the European research infrastructure for gathering, processing and simulating brain data.

Finally, the Symposium will address the recent advances in neuroethics and neurophilosophy in neuroscience research and society.
