Programme

L’édition 2016 de ces conférences internationales  intitulée « Exploration fonctionnelle des circuits neuronaux impliqués dans le comportement » aura lieu du 28 au 30 septembre à l’Agora du haut-Carré à Talence, sur le campus de l’Université de Bordeaux, au sud-ouest de Bordeaux. Environ 150 personnes sont attendues.

Le programme scientifique repose sur des conférences plénières données par des personnalités de classe internationale, des communications orales de jeunes chercheurs sélectionnés sur la base de leur résumé par le Comité Scientifique et des sessions posters pour accroître les échanges entre chercheurs.
Des industriels prendront également part à cette conférence. Un concept original mêlera la zone dédiée aux stands commerciaux et l’espace buffet dans le but d’optimiser les contacts entre les congressistes et se familiariser avec les dernières avancées technologiques.

Afin de prolonger les échanges conviviaux, une soirée de gala avec dégustation de vin est proposée aux participants. Elle aura lieu au Château Luchey-Halde, un prestigieux domaine viticole en Pessac-Léognan près de Bordeaux.

Cette 3ème conférence internationale est organisée par la Fédération Bordeaux Neurocampus et le LabEx BRAIN. Elle est accessible à l’ensemble de la communauté scientifique.

Rendez-vous à Bordeaux cet automne !

Les prochaines JOURNEES D’ETUDE DU VIEILLISSEMENT COGNITIF se dérouleront à Bordeaux les 19 et 20 septembre 2016. Ces journées d’étude visent à réunir les chercheurs s’intéressant aux effets du vieillissement sur les processus cognitifs pour faire un point sur l’état des connaissances autour de conférences, de communications orales et de communications affichées. Ces journées ont aussi pour objectif de favoriser les collaborations aussi bien nationales qu’internationales. Enfin, au travers de ces journées, l’objectif est également de donner aux étudiants, masters, doctorants ou post-doctorants, l’opportunité de partager leurs travaux avec la communauté scientifique et favoriser les contacts.

The ECNP Congress is Europe’s largest meeting on applied and translational neuroscience.
Annually it brings together between 4, 000 and 6, 000 psychiatrists, neuroscientists, neurologists
and psychologists from around the world to discuss the latest developments in the science and
treatment of disorders of the brain.

Spanning the spectrum of human mood, behaviour, cognition and emotion – from basic science
to clinical care – the ECNP Congress is Europe’s premier showcase for new research,
treatments and technologies in applied brain science.

Featured topics in 2016 include:
Sleep and depression
Role of mTOR in psychiatric disorders
Oxytocin in schizophrenia
Imaging markers for clinical use
New medications for autism
Medications for frontotemporal dementia

For further information, please visit the meeting website.

We are happy to invite you to the ERC PATCH closing workshop on computational touch which will take place on the 8-9th September at the UPMC Jussieu Campus, Room 107 Towers 24-26 (metro Jussieu).

Humans often engage in a complex repertoire of behaviors geared towards far removed goals. We must override reflexive and habitual reactions in order to orchestrate behavior in accordance with our intentions. This overriding of automatic response tendencies can be implemented via cognitive and motivational systems. Importantly, a number of neurological and psychiatric disorders are characterized specifically by a breakdown in these mechanisms. Accordingly, a wide range of researchers around the world and in a number of different fields are concerned with understanding the neural mechanisms underlying motivational and cognitive control.

This meeting will be the 6th in a series of highly successful meetings that began with a meeting in Jena organized by Michael Coles and Wolfgang Miltner in 2000 and continued with meetings in Dortmund (Michael Falkenstein and Markus Ullsperger), Amsterdam (Sander Nieuwenhuis, Rogier Mars and Richard Ridderinkhof) and Oxford (Rogier Mars, Jérôme Sallet, MaryAnn Noonan) and Paris (Sebastien Bouret, Mark Laubach, Jerome Sallet).
The goal of the present one is to bring together researchers from a wider range of research backgrounds. Therefore we aim to gather experimental psychologists, neurophysiologists, neurobiologists, and computational neuroscientists, who will discuss both their latest research results and their research techniques. Bringing together this diverse group of researchers will allow them to gain a better understanding of each other’s, and subsequently their own work. Previous meetings have shown that this format can lead to highly productive collaborations.

Travel Awards

A limited number of Travel Awards for students are available. To be considered for a Travel Award, you must be a student and submit a Poster Abstract including a short (max 100 words) statement of the significance of the research (by 30th June).

EUROGENESIS 3rd Conference will end the celebrations of the 50th anniversary of adult neurogenesis discovery by gathering worldwide leaders of this exciting field . The findings of neural stem cells in the adult mammalian central nervous system changed our perception of brain plasticity and function. For five decades, research on adult neurogenesis and neural stem cells has therefore been leading to an ever expanding field of discoveries that have influenced many domains of neuroscience and developmental biology.

Hosted in the historic heart of Bordeaux, the full of light and bewitching capital of wine, EUROGENESIS 3rd conference will cover several aspects of adult neurogenesis function and its related pathologies. It aims to highlight the benefits of interdisciplinary research for gathering innovative knowledge in adult neural stem cells biology, and will promote new opportunities for cross-border disciplines interactions.

Local organization: Nora Abrous – Sophie Tronel – Florence Béranger

The European Confederation of Neuropathological Societies (Euro-CNS) and the French Society of Neuropathology warmly invite you to attend the 11th European Congress of Neuropathology in Bordeaux (France), the full of light and utterly bewitching capital of wine. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, close to the famous vineyards and the Atlantic Ocean, Bordeaux offers superb touristic opportunities.

The meeting will be held in the Cité Mondiale Convention Center conveniently located on the left bank of the Garonne river in the historic heart of the wine-making hub.

The scientific program will cover many aspects of neuropathology and will interact with other areas of neuroscience. Leading neuropathologists and neuroscientists will be invited for plenary lectures. Parallel sessions of symposia and workshops will provide key updates and debate on recent progress in diagnostic neuropathological practice and in other interactive scientific approaches. Abstracts submitted to the Congress will be selected for inclusion in these sessions where relevant. Several sessions on different topics will also permit a large selection of posters to be presented on platform, and a two hours interactive slide seminar will be organized.
A wide range of sponsorship opportunities are available, which have been designed to ensure that companies achieve their objectives by participating in the Congress.
Note that travel grants are available.
Abstract submission deadline for oral and poster presentation is fixed April 1st, 2016
