Symposium: From Cortical Microcircuits to Consciousness
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.
Registration deadline: 6 April 2022
FENS Forum 2022 Satellite Symposium in Lille, France
Lifelong effects of early life experiences on brain and behavior
It has been known for more than a century that the early life is a source of adult psychopathologies. However, the mechanisms underlying the enduring impact of early life experiences (such as nutrition, stress, and hormonal prenatal imbalances) on neurodevelopmental disorders still remain largely unknown. This satellite event will give an overview of our current knowledge on the neurodevelopmental, molecular, and epigenetic substrates mediating the effects of perinatal insults on neurobiological and behavioral outcomes ranging from metabolic and reproductive disorders to autism and Alzheimer’s disease.
Registration fees include participation to the whole satellite event, coffee breaks, lunch
To register, please fill the registration form and send it to Sébastien Bouret and send registration fees via the following secured link.
Congrès International « Monitoring Molecules in Neuroscience », 29 juin au 2 juillet 2022
Pour la deuxième fois en France, Lyon accueillera le 18ème congrès MMiN après Bruxelles (2010), Londres (2012), Los Angeles (2014), Göteborg (2016) et Oxford (2018). Ce congrès s’intéresse à la compréhension du fonctionnement du cerveau normal et pathologique sur la base de l’étude des divers niveaux de communication chimique. Il représente une excellente opportunité pour les scientifiques de discuter du développement et des applications des outils de pointe émergeants dans la détection des molécules neuro-actives, tels que capteurs, microdialyse, imagerie moléculaire, optogénétique, chémogénétique, microscopie, utilisés dans un contexte de recherche expérimentale et/ou clinique. La transversalité permet ainsi de nombreuses interactions entre les scientifiques internationaux qui présentent leurs résultats.
8th European Synapse Meeting – Coimbra 2022
The 8th European Synapse Meeting, which will be held in Coimbra on the 20th and 21st of October 2022.
The aim of this meeting is to bring together junior and senior neuroscientists working on synapses and to provide a forum for new directions and ideas in studying synapses in the healthy and diseased brain. The meeting welcomes participation from all scientists within and outside the EU and will combine research lectures by leading neuroscientists, selected talks and poster presentations.
The program will provide multiple opportunities for interaction, during the poster sessions, lunch time and coffee breaks, providing an opportunity for disseminating the latest advances and for cross-disciplinary discussion and collaboration. The meeting will be held at the São Francisco Convention Center in Coimbra, a unique setting that combines history and the best of the Portuguese architecture, and which will certainly contribute to inspire your future research and foster partnerships to address novel and challenging questions.
We look forward to welcoming you in Coimbra for an exciting meeting!

Neurodevelopmental Disorders: From molecular mechanisms to social inclusion
In this 3 day symposium, experts from different areas of developmental neuroscience, human neuropsychology, epidemiology, brain imaging and genetics & epigenetics as well as clinicians will address the current state of neurodevelopmental disorders research, and its challenges for human health. We hope that by integrating neurodevelopmental perspectives and basic, translational and clinical approaches, this meeting will promote discussions and exchanges, and a new understanding of the complexity of these pathologies.
Symposium virtuel « What is Neuroethology? »
Première réunion Scientifique du Club de Neuroéthologie
Symposium Online « What is Neuroethology? »
Nous avons réuni pour celui-ci des leaders internationaux d’Europe, USA et Israël pour parler de recherches de pointe en neuroethologie qui nous paraissent fascinantes et qui – nous l’espérons – seront aussi attirantes pour les membres du club et de la Société de Neurosciences en général.
Les liens zooms pour les différents créneaux suivront prochainement.

FENS Forum 2022
Get ready to take an active role at Europe’s largest international neuroscience conference, covering all domains in modern brain research from basic to translational research!
Organised by FENS in partnership with the Société des Neurosciences, the event will feature high-quality science from every domain of modern brain research. Over the course of five days, attendees will have unprecedented access to a range of symposia, technical workshops, plenary lectures and poster sessions. There will be multiple occasions throughout the meeting to shape the programme and share your research with your peers. Also on the agenda are a number of social events and networking opportunities to get to know your colleagues in a more casual setting.
Early registration and abstract submission open!

COSYNE 2022
The annual Cosyne meeting provides an inclusive forum for the exchange of empirical and theoretical approaches to problems in systems neuroscience, in order to understand how neural systems function.
The Main Meeting is single-track. A set of invited talks is selected by the Executive Committee, and additional talks and posters are selected by the Program Committee, based on submitted abstracts. The Workshops feature in-depth discussion of current topics of interest, in a small group setting.
Cosyne topics include (but are not limited to): neural basis of behavior, sensory and motor systems, circuitry, learning, neural coding, natural scene statistics, dendritic computation, neural basis of persistent activity, nonlinear receptive field mapping, representations of time and sequence, reward systems, decision-making, synaptic plasticity, map formation and plasticity, population coding, attention, and computation with spiking networks. Participants include pure experimentalists, pure theorists, and everything in between.
