The brain is composed of various specialized cells, characterized by complex, nanoscopic shapes. Recent technical advances such as cryo- and volume electron microscopy have enabled reconstructing cells and organelles at unprecedented spatial resolution, paving the way for new discoveries on cell structure-function coupling at the subcellular level.
This interdisciplinary workshop aims to bring together experts from diverse fields who contribute to improving our understanding of the nanoscale landscape of the nervous system and its impact on brain function, from electron microscopy to image analysis, machine learning, deep learning, and computational modeling.

The 25th Biennial Conference of the International Society for Developmental Neuroscience (ISDN) will take place in Montpellier, France, 21-24 September 2024.
4 plenary speakers and 10 symposia featuring more than 40 speakers will highlight recent advances and future directions in fundamental and applied developmental neuroscience.
Dopamine is an important neurotransmitter in the brain that modulates complex behaviors such as movement, reward, motivation, and memory. The activity of dopaminoceptive neurons in the forebrain is altered in a variety of conditions, including Parkinson’s disease, addiction, and schizophrenia.
Unraveling the molecular signals and circuits involved in the actions of dopamine in the normal and pathological brain has been the focus of Jean-Antoine Girault’s scientific career, collaborating with prominent international leaders and making seminal discoveries in this rapidly expanding field.
The 2024 IFM Colloquium, organized in honor of Jean-Antoine Girault’s career, will showcase 12 keynote speakers who will address various aspects of neurotransmission and signaling in the striatal circuits underlying motivation and movement, both in physiological conditions and in various disorders that mainly affect dopaminergic signaling (e.g., Parkinson’s disease, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or drug addiction). Our goal is to cover most aspects of basal ganglia involvement in action selection and procedural learning (i.e., habit formation), as well as related disorders, to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date view of this dynamic field.
Space and time will be allocated to poster presentations.

This multidisciplinary conference will bring together experts in various fields in early-life adversity and children’s/youth mental health and well-being. Neurobiologists will focus on the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of early-life adversity, vulnerability and resilience and related psycho-affective disorders. They will highlight the social and clinical implications of their studies investigating the effects of stress-related and other biological factors during the critical period. Specialists in the psychological and clinical domains will bring their professional experience from their work with children and youth-related programs. Educators and policy-makers will discuss practical and logistical considerations in implementing pro-development and mental health awareness programs at the community and societal levels. This conference is a unique opportunity that provides space for inter-disciplinary dialogue. It hopes to bring to the panel diverse perspectives that can mutually inform each other and collectively forge broadly received recommendations and plan of action to address the growing concerns regarding the global youth mental health crisis. These resolutions aim to contribute to a wider movement that works towards a better integrated vision of a future world able to better protect the well-being of children and youth.
Deadline for registration: 31/07/2024
The XXI Summer School of Neuroscience will be held in Catania from 15 to 19 July 2024 on the theme “Memory deficit and dementia: progress in physiology and hope for a cure”.
This Summer School is specially conceived for Master 2 students, PhD students, post-docs and researchers in Occitanie, a region rich in neuroscientific potential. It aims to complement their essentially science-based training by providing them with entrepreneurial skills and expanding their professional network.
Each morning, participants will have the opportunity to attend lectures given by neuroscience researchers and neurologists. These presentations will explore the latest advances in the field, combining public and private sector approaches. Researchers from the NeurATRIS and non-NeurATRIS networks will be on hand to give students from the Occitanie region access to speakers they wouldn’t otherwise have access to in their traditional regional curriculum.
The afternoon will be devoted to inspiring testimonials and practical support in setting up start-ups, establishing CROs (Clinical Research Organizations) and valorizing patents. Experts will share their experience and advice to help participants turn their innovative ideas in the neurosciences into reality.
In addition, a workshop dedicated to “Scientific Communication” will be led by Elodie Chabrol, a former neuroscientist specializing in scientific communication. This cross-disciplinary module will enable participants to acquire an essential skill for their careers, whether in the public or private sector.
L’association France Alzheimer et maladies apparentées organise son premier colloque annuel sur la recherche. Il a pour objectif d’offrir un rendez-vous annuel autour des thématiques de recherche à la communauté scientifique française.
Cette année, le colloque se tiendra le lundi 3 juin à la Maison de la Chimie à Paris, de 9h à 17h30.
Les inscriptions et l’appel à communication sont encore ouverts : https://faast.sciencesconf.org/
Un tour d’horizon de la recherche dans le domaine de la génétique et des biomarqueurs vous sera présenté au cours de deux séances plénières avec :
-Jean-Charles LAMBERT, directeur de recherche INSERM à l’Institut Pasteur de Lille ;
-Sylvain LEHMANN, professeur de médecine et directeur de l’Institut des Neurosciences de Montpellier
Des bourses de mobilité peuvent être offertes aux étudiants souhaitant participer à l’évènement (sous conditions).
The next Thematic Meeting of the French Neuroscience Society will be held on 23-24 May 2024, on the theme of Artificial Intelligence.
The meeting will take place on May 21st in Albi, not far away from Toulouse. Please reserve the date!
The meeting is coupled to that of the SFECA (French Society for the Sudy of Animal Behavior), which will take place in the same location from May 22nd to 24th. The Neuroethology meeting is free as no inscription fees are required.
Registering is nevertheless important for organization aspects.
Registration as well as abstract submission can be done at: https://sfeca2024.sciencesconf.org/resource/page/id/22
