La Société Francophone des mouvements anormaux (SOFMA) et le Club des Ganglions de la Base (CGB) organisent le 21 septembre 2019 à Nice un symposium SOFMA-CGB.

Programme

Inscription gratuite mais obligatoire

September 16 and 17, 2019 at the Collège de France, in central Paris.

This conference will formally mark the birth of the Institut de l’Audition, a new Institut Pasteur research center aiming to promote an integrative approach to auditory neuroscience and to develop innovative strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of hearing impairment.

In line with these ambitions, the program of the conference includes a broad range of excellent speakers, covering the field of auditory neuroscience in particular but also of sensory neuroscience in general.

Registration can be done at https://ida2019.sciencesconf.org/ (Registration tab), where you will find additional information about the conference. The registration fee is 280 Euros (200 Euros for students) including lunches, coffee breaks and a gala dinner on September 16, at the famous La Coupole restaurant in Montparnasse. Abstracts for poster communications are welcome and can be submitted via the website (“Abstract Submission” tab).

Deadline for application and abstract submission : September 2, 2019.

Further information on EGID.

Since 1989, the “Association Canaux Ioniques” organizes a yearly meeting which aims at gathering the international scientific community working on all aspects of Ion channels. This meeting allows academics, students, as well as scientists from the pharmaceutical industry to share their latest advances in a relaxed but nonetheless studious atmosphere.

The 2019 meeting will also be the occasion to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the association.

We hope that many of you will be able to attend the 30th ion channel meeting that will take place in Sète, from 8th to 11th September 2019.

Important dates:

• Registration and Abstract submission opening: April 5th, 2019
• Registration and Abstract submission deadline: June 30th, 2019
• After this date an extra fee of 30% will be applied
• No registration will be accepted after July 30th, 2019

16th INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON CHOLINERGIC MECHANISMS
2nd MISRAHI SYMPOSIUM ON NEUROBIOLOGY

Welcome to the XVIth International Symposium on Cholinergic Mechanisms (ISCM-XVI), scheduled for December 8th-13th, 2019. The symposium will be held in the Lopatie Conference Center on the campus of the Weizmann Institute of Science, in Rehovot, Israel.

The first International Symposium on Cholinergic Mechanisms (ISCM) was organized by the late Edith Heilbronn. It took place in Skokloster, Sweden, in 1970. The ISCMs have been held triennially since then, the most recent being ISCM-XV, in Marseille, in October, 2016. The principal objective of these conferences is to survey progress in the understanding of the molecular, cellular, pharmacological, toxicological, behavioral and clinical aspects of the cholinergic system, and to bring fundamental and applied scientists together so as to survey and discuss the most recent developments in cholinergic research. It has also been a tradition to publish the proceedings, so as to provide a comprehensive picture of the cholinergic field at the time of the symposium.

The Bordeaux Neurocampus Conferences are a serie of Neuroscience meetings, organized in Bordeaux, France.

The purpose of the conferences is to present and discuss recent findings in a topic field in Neuroscience, bringing together leading international experts and young researchers. The maximum number of participants is 250, including invited speakers. The scientific program is organized jointly by members of Bordeaux Neurocampus and the LabEx Brain.

The Bordeaux Neurocampus Conferences are 3-day meetings that take place in autumn at Bordeaux University, France. About 20 presentations are given by invited speakers, and the schedule encourages lively discussion, in particular during the poster sessions.

NEXT CONFERENCE : 2-4 OCTOBER, 2019
Normal and pathological reward processing: from synapse to behavior
Essential feature of the human as well as the animal brain is its ability to process information on-line in order to efficiently adapt behavior to a changing environment. The brain constantly integrates new sensory information and adjusts its behavioral responses to maximize reward and / or minimize unpleasant and even dangerous consequences for the organism. The question here is to highlight brain regions that share the ability to “reward” the performance of vital functions such as feeding, exploration of new environments, initiation of new social interactions, reproduction and appropriate reaction to threat? The mesocorticolimbic dopaminergic system was the first neural circuit to be described in this context and is closely related to the whole reward system. Are there other brain reward systems? What happens in the brains of patients with autism spectrum disorders, addiction to drugs or sports, anxiety or depressive symptoms, Parkinson’s disease, whose reward system is altered? Answers to these questions do not reach consensus and will be debated during the three days of this conference.

Program :

First Edition of Neurodynamics Symposium in Grenoble !!

Recent technologies have made it possible to study the in-vivo physiology of neurons, the dynamics of large scale neuronal ensembles and the neural circuits that connect different structures…

but how do these give rise to different brain functions?

This symposium aims to link three components: conceptual expertise, computational modeling and state-of-the-art methodologies, to advance our understanding of brain functions related to cognition and motivation.

The program will enclose poster sessions, oral presentations selected on abstract and oral talks of invited speakers (preliminar program to be announced soon!).

When? 4-5 July, 2019

Where? Maison Minatec Conference Center, Grenoble, France

REGISTRATION OPENING and ABSTRACT SUBMISSION : 1st February 2019 – May 15th 2019
