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

The FENS Forum is Europe’s preeminent neuroscience meeting: where European Neuroscience Meets the World. By uniting thousands of participants, the FENS Forum 2016 will facilitate and promote the exchange of knowledge and neuroscience research. Molecules and photons, neurodegenerative diseases and stem cells are only a few of the key topics to be covered by a top-level scientific programme, alongside lively networking and social events. The FENS Forum is a meeting point for the world’s top experts, mid-career scientists, post-docs and students.
We look forward to welcoming you to Copenhagen, the capital of Northern Europe, on July 2-6, 2016 for an engaging scientific experience among the world’s top neuroscientists.
We would like to alert you to the European Population Neuroscience symposium, a Satellite Event of FENS Forum 2016. The symposium is organized by the Danish Research Centre for Magnetic Resonance (DRCMR) in collaboration with CreoDK and the European Brain Council (EBC).
Date and venue: July 1st 2016, 8.30 AM-4.30 PM. DGI-byen, Tietgensgade 65, 1704 Copenhagen V, Denmark.
Participation is free of charge, but registration is mandatory. Please visit our FENS Forum satellite symposium webpage for the program and registration.
Of note, there is a limited amount of seats, so please register in good time!!
The symposium addresses key scientific challenges of a European Population Neuroscience Strategy. The main goal of such a strategy is to model the often subtle but decisive interplay of multidimensional factors across the life span in large European cohorts representative of general populations, thereby capturing differences in e.g. genetic makeup, age and sex distributions, social-economic and health status, and culture, in order to predict physical (i.e. body) and mental and cognitive (i.e. brain) health and illness, resilience and potential.
Central topics include: (1) the relationship between genes (Genome) and exposures (Envirome; e.g. body and environment) shaping brain outcomes (Phenome; e.g. cognition, behavior and structural and functional in vivo brain measures), (2) strategies to ensure that cohorts are representative of populations, (3) mobile sensing technologies for an ecological sampling of physical and environmental variables, (4) large-scale infrastructures for integrating, sharing and exploiting huge amounts of prospective multidimensional data in a secure manner, and (5) analytical and modeling strategies and approaches to analyze and exploit complex multimodal, multidimensional and multisite prospective data.

Dear colleagues,
You are cordially invited to attend the satellite event « Molecular Regulation of Depressive Disorders; from Mouse to Human ». July 1st, Bella Sky Hotel, Comwell Conference Center – Room 173, (next door to COPENHAGEN). Starts 14:00.
Anxiety and depression are complex disorders involving multiple brain regions. They account for the second largest number of years lost due to disability (YLD) worldwide. Yet, they are widely undiagnosed and untreated due to lack of effective therapies or resources. r’BIRTH is a Marie Curie ITN consortium that studies impaired adaptive responses that may contribute to depressive and anxiety-related behavior.
During this satellite event, work will be presented from consortium groups studying molecular mechanism in cell cultures and mice, and clinical biomarker imaging (MRI/MRS).
The program can be found here.
Please register soon as places are limited.
We would like to thank the European Commission (FP7), Lundbeck, ApDia and Immunovia for financial support.
Warmly welcome!

Organisée sous la tutelle du CNRS par le laboratoire STIM de l’université de Poitiers.
L’école se déroulera à Poitiers du 28 juin 2016 au 1 juillet 2016 sur une durée totale de 3,5 jours.
Trois grands axes seront développés d’un point de vue théorique et pratique au cours de cette période :
Axe 1 : «le canal dans son environnement membranaire : Courants ioniques, flux et criblage»
Axe 2 : «le canal dans son environnement cellulaire : marquage, localisation et tri cellulaire»

We are happy to announce the 15th edition of the Brain Connectivity Workshop (BCW) to take place in Marseille from the 22nd to the 24th of June 2016.
The Brain Connectivity Workshop (BCW) is a well-established workshop series, which has been held annually in Europe, USA, Australia and Asia for the last 14 years. BCW is an official satellite of the annual meeting of OHBM, which is held in Geneva, Switzerland in 2016. BCW attracts every year a public of 100-200 participants working in cognitive, computational and clinical neurosciences. The discussions are centered on all themes around brain connectivity including structural and functional imaging, modeling, brain function and clinics. BCW is highly influential in the field due to the traditionally high quality of speakers and a long track record of innovation. For instance, both, the Connectome and The Virtual Brain have been born within the BCW community.
The typical BCW format —a first educational day of lectures held by international authorities in their fields, followed by two days of shorter talks with ample time for discussion provides a unique forum for creativity, controversy and brainstorming. BCW 2016, introduced by a first day of tutorials by experts in their field, will feature focused sessions on themes such as perturbing the brain, mapping the brain, and brain dynamics in function (cognition) and dysfunction (epilepsy).
Registration will open soon.
NB: Please note that European Cup of Football will be held in France during this period and hotels are going to be booked fast!
