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 26th Meeting (RT26) of the French Society of Toxinology (SFET) will take place on December 4-5, 2019, in the François Jacob auditorium of the Pasteur Institute in Paris, and will focus on a theme at the heart of the current research in toxinology: “Bioengineering of Toxins”.

We warmly invite you to attend the meeting, or better: present your own data as an oral communication or a poster!

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.

Registration and abstract submission

The 4th EGID Thematic School will take place in Bruges from October 2 to 4, 2019. This Thematic School is intended for PhD students, Post-doctoral fellows and young investigators from different backgrounds.

Invited speakers:

Philippe FROGUEL (Lille,France) ; Giles YEO (Cambridge, UK) ; Vincent PREVOT (Lille, France) ; Bernard THORENS (Lausanne, Switzerland) ; Jens BRÜNING (Cologne, Germany) ; Daniela COTA (Bordeaux, France) ; David VAL-LAILLET (Rennes, France) ; Kadiombo BANTUBUNGI-BLUM (Lille, France) ; Markus SCHWANINGER (Lübeck, Germany) ; Ruben NOGUEIRAS POZO (Santiago de Compostella, Spain) ; Julie DAM (Paris, France), Gilles MITHIEUX (Lyon, France).

As the number of participants is limited, a selection will be made by the Scientific Committee. Registration, round travel from Lille and accommodation will be free for those selected.

You will have to send a short letter of expression of interest, for first year PhD students, or an abstract of personal ongoing study for others (250 words abstract in English; title and names are not considered as words) in an unique PDF file titled (EGID + Name + First name).

Registration form

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