Neurofluidics is a unique conference at the frontiers of Neuroscience, Computational neuroscience, Microfluidics and Microtechnologies.

The format is a two days conference with speakers from each community and open debates. The purpose is to present the latest available technologies and to share their potential applications in neuroscience.

All participants are invited to submit an abstract for oral or poster presentation. Authors of selected abstracts will be invited to write a full paper for consideration in a special issue of IET Nanobiotechnology (subject to peer review).

Registration is mandatory until November 13th and fees to be due until the conference opens.

Details at  http://neurofluidics.org

Preliminary program:
1 – Molecular analysis in compartmentalized devices
2 – Intracellular trafficking using  microfluidic devices
3 – Recording and stimulating: Recording and stimulating neuronal activity
4 – Structuring neural networks: Chemical and physical approaches
5 – Structuring neural networks: Computational  and pharmacogenetic approaches
6 – Activity recording: devices and network analysis

Keynote speakers:

Meriem Lamghari, INEB, Portugal; Yoonkey Nam, KAIST, Republic of Korea;  Anne M. Taylor, University of North Carolina, USA; Janos Vörös, ETH, Switzerland, Jonathan James West, Univ. Southampton, UK.

Organizing committee:

Thibault Honegger, Frédéric Saudou and Benoit Charlot.

The symposium is organized by 4 institutions – Tech Transfer Consortium (CVT) of AVIESAN, ITMO NNP, PMND and ARIIS – which are highly involved in emerging scientific and medical aspects of this hot topic.

The symposium aims to provide a unique opportunity to bring together leading scientists, clinicians and companies interested in proteinopathies to discuss the latest discoveries and developments of its application in neurodegenerative disorders.

There is a limited number of seats and on-line registration is required. Seats will be granted on a “first come, first served” basis. Do not wait to register!

Join the NDD SYMPOSIUM, and get the great opportunity to exchange, learn, interact and network with colleagues from all over the world!

A l’occasion de la Journée Mondiale pour la Vue du 12 octobre 2017 et dans le cadre d’un partenariat entre l’UNADEV et Aviesan (Alliance nationale pour les sciences de la vie et de la santé) pour soutenir la recherche dans le domaine de la vision, l’UNADEV et l’Institut Thématique Multi-Organisme Neurosciences, sciences cognitives, neurologie, psychiatrie organisent un colloque :

« Les maladies de la vision: origines et traitements »

Au cours de ce colloque, seront présentés les résultats obtenus par plusieurs équipes lauréates de projets de recherche financés en 2015 et 2016.

En 2015, l’association UNADEV (Union Nationale des Aveugles et Déficients Visuels) a signé un partenariat avec Aviesan/ ITMO Neurosciences, sciences cognitives, neurologie, psychiatrie pour une durée de 5 ans afin de soutenir la recherche dans le domaine de la vision. Ce colloque s’adresse à tout public intéressé par les maladies de la vision : acteurs de la recherche, patients, membres d’association…

ISN satellite meeting on immune cells and the CNS seeks to gather scientists interested in the impact of immune cells during development of the CNS and over the course of neurological diseases. The involvement of immune cells is at the source of fine developmental modeling of the brain and the trigger of the autoimmune disease Multiple Sclerosis but they also actively contribute to the evolution of chronic neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. The development of high throughput screening of genes and RNA, opens new opportunities for discoveries of interactions between specific neuroimmune pathways linked to development or implicated in neurological diseases.

The satellite meeting will consist of the five following symposia:
(1) Genetic studies unravels immune cell implication in neurological diseases,

(2) Microglial cells activation states,

(3) From injury to repair, role of immune cells,

(4) When immunity takes part in neurodegeneration

(5) Challenges of human microglial cells

Each symposium will consist of two 30 minute presentations from established scientists followed by three 15 minute talks from young investigators, selected on their abstract. Poster presentations during the two evenings and a free afternoon with a visit to the nearby Fontainebleau castle will increase the opportunities for scientific interactions.
With this satellite meeting we intend to bring together scientists working with different technological approaches on different topics: development, autoimmune or neurodegenerative diseases for their common interest of neuroimmunology and with this program, to attract a hundred scientists working in this field.

LE CONGRÈS DU SOMMEIL® est organisé par la Société Française de Recherche et Médecine du Sommeil, et la Société de Pneumologie de Langue Française (Groupe Sommeil) en collaboration avec la Société Française des Techniciens du Sommeil.

Il met en avant la nécessaire complémentarité des équipes et la transversalité de cette discipline récente.

Avec plus de 2 900 participants en 2016 à Strasbourg, Le Congrès du Sommeil® reste l’évènement de référence de cette discipline transversale et confirme sa place incontournable de lieu d’échanges et de rencontres entre professionnels de la santé, chercheurs, décideurs publics, associations de patients, prestataires de soins à domicile, industriels et fournisseurs de matériel…

Le contenu du programme scientifique, pluridisciplinaire, fait une part importante aux troubles respiratoires du sommeil mais consacre également des sessions aux aspects neurologiques, psychiatriques et chronobiologiques du sommeil…

4 conférences plénières, 10 symposia, 1 workshop de cas cliniques difficiles, 1 conférence de consensus, des symposia de recherche fondamentale sur le sommeil,  5 séances de communications orales, 10 ateliers de formation, 5 sessions posters, des conférences et ateliers satellites, des réunions thématiques, la remise de plusieurs bourses et prix, plus de 70 exposants, le village Sommeil, la journée de la Société Française des Techniciens du Sommeil …

Et le mercredi 22 novembre 2017, la journée pré-congrès de Formations Médicales de la SFRMS.

The next biennial EBBS Meeting will put together European scientists interested in the relationship of brain mechanisms and behaviour and will be held in Bilbao from Sept. 8 to Sept. 11.
