LiCEND Summer School 2019: Experimental Models for Neurodegenerative Disease: From Cells to Model Organisms

The objectives of the LiCEND Summer School are to present a large selection of experimental models and technological applications dedicated to the investigation of neurodegenerative diseases.

 

The LiCEND Summer School 2019 is based on the expertise of the Lille neuroscientists’ teams as well as highly-skilled international and French specialists. Gathering of such experts allows to propose an attractive and innovative training to the (future) researchers on neurodenegerative diseases.

 

Objectives: to present a large selection of experimental models and technological applications dedicated to the investigation of neurodegenerative diseases.

 

Currently, different experimental models are used to study the neurodegenerative mechanisms and associated processes, such as normal ageing, and to investigate a large variety of parameters: genetic and environmental factors,  impact of metabolism, interaction with the immune system, cellular and molecular mechanisms, molecular screening, evaluation of therapeutic strategies… It is crucial to keep this in mind and to choose accordingly for each research project, which model(s) would be the most appropriate to fulfill the needs but also to know their limits (scientific relevancy, available tools and technologies, costs…).

 

The LiCEND Summer School 2019 “Experimental approaches to study neurodegenerative disorders in biology: from the cell dish to the model organisms” aims to provide students and professionals, a global view of experimental models of neurodegeneration with their respective “pro” and “cons” aspects.

 

Each session will be organized around one type of experimental models with 2 to 4 talks given by recognized specialists. The 3R rules have been considered while building those sessions, presenting alternative models to replace animals  or allowing researcher to refine their experimentation by choosing the most efficient models to explore neurodegenerative diseases.

  • Cellular models
  • Invertebrae models (C. Elegans, drosophila)
  • Zebrafish model
  • Small mammals models (mouse and rat)
  • Large mammals models

 

Application open until the 26/06/2019 _ Early bird fee until the 30/04/2019

Limited number of application: 60

ENCODS 2019

Neuroscience is one of the fastest-growing disciplines, which has reached unprecedented size and diversity. Given the interdisciplinary nature of neuroscience, interaction between different sub-disciplines is a key to advance the field.

ENCODS 2019 aims to offer a unique platform for early-career neuroscientists from different backgrounds to interact with both international renowned scientists and fellow students. We believe that bringing together neuroscientists around the world will foster discussions, collaborations, and to prepare early-career researchers to embrace future opportunities and challenges. ENCODS 2019 features talks by world-leading neuroscientists, workshops on transferable skills, PhD talks, poster sessions, and career talks.

 

Start your application

Application deadline extended: 15 March 2019

The main target participants are PhD students in neuroscience-related disciplines from around the world, although people with strong interests in neuroscience from other early-career stages are also encouraged to apply. We strongly encourage students from underrepresented backgrounds to apply, and would like to offer travel grants and fee waivers for those in need.

 

The event will take place at The Francis Crick Institute, London, United Kingdom on 24th-25th June 2019.

La 7th Mediterranean Neuroscience Conference se tiendra à Marrakech au Maroc. Après Malte en 2017, Pula en Sardaigne en 2015, Istanbul en 2012 et Alexandrie en 2009, la Société Méditérranéenne de Neurosciences (MNS) a décidé de nous confier l’organisation de cet évènement dans un pays sud-méditerranéen afin de faciliter la participation des Neuroscientifiques du Sud et d’Afrique. Ce congrès international attire de plus en plus de participants du monde entier puisque nous avons reçu 71 propositions de symposiums avec des orateurs de 33 pays différents.

Neurosciences in Intensive Care International Symposium 2019 (NICIS)

Neuro-prognostication in the ICU:

from basic neuroscience to medical decision

 

The vision of Neurosciences in Intensive Care International Symposium (NICIS) is to accelerate transformative advances in the care and science of patients with critical illness and neurological injury. Participants are clinicians and scientists who have a common aspiration to translate discoveries in the neurosciences into better patient-centered outcomes. Since 2017, two NICIS events are offered, one in Washington (NICIS.America) and the other in Paris (NICIS.Europe), held respectively in March and June.

The 2019 edition of NICIS-Europe is titled Neuro-prognostication in the ICU: from basic neuroscience to medical decision. It will be held on June the 20th-21st 2019 at the Institut Pasteur in Paris.

NICIS-Europe 2019 builds on the success of previous editions, which were devoted to “The Neurosciences of critical illness and acute CNS infection” (2018); « Critical illness: Ageing, frailty and resilience » (2017), « Neuro-inflammation in Critical illness: From brain signalling to brain insult » (2016), « Neuroscience of repair, regeneration and recovery from critical illness » (2015), and « Neurobiology of stress  » (2014).

All conference participants are invited to submit abstracts of original data for consideration at our Poster Presentation Session.

 

We look forward to welcoming you in June for NICIS-EUROPE 2019 !

Dynamics of the brain: temporal aspects of computation

The brain is an extraordinarily complex dynamical system whose critical operations run over timescales ranging from the sub-millisecond (e.g., auditory perception), to the circadian (e.g., sleep and homeostatic phenomena), to weeks and years (e.g., learning and memory). Brain circuits express collective properties that can be detected macroscopically, such as traveling waves or oscillations, but recent developments also reveal, through large scale recordings of neuron populations, smaller-scale spatiotemporal phenomena such as transient dynamics (spatio-temporal multi-neuronal activation patterns in response to odours, in preparation for action, in “replay » during sleep). Those dynamics suggest strong constraints on the orchestration of activity in brain circuits. This conference will explore experimental and theoretical approaches to understand the underpinnings of such dynamics and their relevance for computation in the brain.

 

Organised by FENS in collaboration with Lundbeck Foundation, awarder of The Brain Prize,  these bi-annual conferences bring together outstanding researchers in key areas of contemporary neuroscience to discuss current concepts and define challenges for future research.
