Cours consacré au logiciel FreeSurfer
Co-organisé par le Martinos Center et l’Unité Imagerie et Cerveau INSERM U930 – Université François-Rabelais de Tours
26-27 mai 2016 Tours
Ce cours est co-organisé par l’Unité Imagerie et Cerveau Inserm U930 et le Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging de Charlestown, MA (USA) qui développe ce logiciel.
La formation, limitée à 64 personnes, couvrira l’analyse surfacique de données individuelles et en groupe ainsi que l’utilisation de FreeSurfer pour l’analyse de données tractographiques.
Elle se déroulera à l’Ecole Polytechnique de l’Université de Tours et fera suite aux 2e Journées Thématiques de la Société des Neurosciences, organisées à Tours les 24 et 25 mai.
Un site web fournit toutes les informations nécessaires aux personnes intéressées.

The Sixth International Symposium on Biology of Decision Making will take place on May 25-27, 2016 at the Institut du Cerveau et de la Moelle Epinière, Paris, France, with a satellite day at Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris, France. The objective of this three day symposium is to gather people from different research fields with different approaches (economics, ethology, psychiatry, neural and computational approaches) to decision-making.
The symposium will be a single-track, will last for 3 days and will include 6 sessions:
(#1) Cost of control, fatigue and decision-making;
(#2) Emotion, stress and decision-making;
(#3) Dynamics of decision-making;
(#4) Decision-making across primates;
(#5) Confidence, mood and decision-making;
(#6) Learning, memory and decision-making.

The 6th annual Art of Neuroscience competition is now open for submissions.
This is an international competition open to scientists and artists worldwide. We are looking for striking visualizations related to the field of Neuroscience in its broadest sense. These can be images or videos representing actual neural data or tissue, but also more abstract illustrations that are in some way related to neuroscience.
The goal is two-fold: make the research from neuroscience labs more tangible and share something of high aesthetic value, while at the same time asking scientists to evaluate their own work from a different perspective.
The deadline for this year’s competition is May 15th, 2016. Winners will be announced at the FENS forum in Copenhagen this July.
We will award €1000 to the winner and €250 each to four honorable mentions.

Join the Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation as we bring our popular drug discovery 101 conference to Europe. Attendees will learn what it takes to translate basic research into novel therapies and will leave with resources to address the challenges in developing a drug. The program includes case studies and presentations from European biopharmaceutical companies, including Actelion Pharmaceuticals, Oryzon Genomics, Asceneuron, and Axxam SpA.

21st Biennial Meeting of the International Society for Developmental Neuroscience
From stem cells to behaviour in the normal and diseased nervous system
Join us in Antibes, along the beautiful Mediterranean coast of Southern France, for an exciting and diverse scientific programme that will provide an opportunity to keep you informed about the most recent advances in fundamental and disease-focused developmental neuroscience.
Organised by the International Society for Developmental Neuroscience (ISDN), this meeting will include a balance of topics on human and animal models of neural development and disease:
As in previous years, ISDN will provide a number of travel and poster awards for trainees.

Energy homeostasis, i.e. the regulation of food intake and energy expenditure is essential for animal survival. The failure in regulating these important physiological processes has major implications on human health, giving rise to disorders such as obesity and anorexia. A variety of research approaches has been used to identify molecular and neural networks underlying food intake and metabolic homeostasis. These approaches include human genetics to reveal the heritable basis of obesity, optogenetics and physiology in rodents to identify neural circuits that regulate eating behaviours and genetic screens in invertebrate model organism to investigate neuromodulatory pathways for metabolism and food intake.
The main goal of this EMBO Workshop is to bring together expertise from these different disciplines to discuss recent developments and landmark discoveries. We aim to foster a platform that will stimulate discussions between researchers and allow interdisciplinary exchange of ideas and research tools.
The session topics will cover neural control of weight homeostasis, nutrient sensing by the nervous system and molecular pathways for metabolic control and eating behaviour. We will give special attention to young scientists, such as students, postdocs and junior group leaders by creating a stimulating scientific atmosphere with talks, discussions, poster sessions and social events.

Student: 320 EUR
