Programme

On behalf of the ISCBFM President and the Local Organizing Committee, we invite the members of the French Neuroscience Society to join us at YOKOHAMA BRAIN & BRAIN PET 2019, the 29th International Symposium on Cerebral Blood Flow, Metabolism and Function and the 14th International Conference on Quantification of Brain Function with PET to be held in Yokohama, Japan from July 4th – 7th 2019. Following the tradition of previous meetings, BRAIN & BRAIN PET 2019 will cover numerous aspects within the area of neuroscience research, particularly those related to brain function and metabolism, cerebral blood flow, the function of the neurovascular unit and the blood-brain barrier, brain imaging, brain repair, and cerebrovascular pathology.

Our goal is to present the state-of-the art and novel discoveries that will increase our understanding of brain function under physiological and pathological conditions through basic, translational, and clinical investigation. Leading scientist in these fields, members of the International Society for Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism (ISCBFM, http://iscbfm.org) and other exceptional scientists will participate as in our previous biannual meetings. The program committee is actively working to create an engaging scientific program that will be of interest to scientists working in all fields of neuroscience, from basic to clinical and applied research.

Yokohama, the second largest city in Japan, is located next to Tokyo along the coastline of the Pacific Ocean. The city has long prospered as an international port city trading with foreign countries that opened to the world in 1859, as it had favorable facilities to host ships from abroad. Since that time, Yokohama has been vigorously acquiring new cultures and information from other countries, and it developed a reputation as the source for new information from abroad that was disseminated around Japan, hence its nickname as the birthplace of Japan’s modern culture.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
