The Chronobiology research group of Strasbourg is organizing an autumn school entitled « Neurobiology of Rhythms, from Basics to Environmental Impacts » from October 28 to 31, 2024.
It is open to Master or PhD student wishing to train in different theoretical and practical aspects of chronobiology in animals and humans. Registration is free and includes accommodation and meals, travel is not covered.
The site to register is here with a registration deadline of September 10 2024.

The EITN Fall School in Computational Neuroscience consists of a 10-day course in theoretical and computational neuroscience, from cellular to whole-brain levels. The course is structured in thematic days with lectures, tutorials, and project work.

The course is typically aimed for PhD students, young postdocs, or master students interested to learn more about techniques of computational neuroscience, and the use of various simulation environments for model building. The students will form thematic groups to work on predefined subjects, with the help of tutors.

The course will cover cellular models, models of brain signals, circuit models and networks, mean-field models, and whole-brain models. There will be lectures and tutorials associated with these topics.

Organizers:

Damien Depannemaecker (AMU), Alain Destexhe (CNRS), Viktor Jirsa (AMU)

The brain is composed of various specialized cells, characterized by complex, nanoscopic shapes. Recent technical advances such as cryo- and volume electron microscopy have enabled reconstructing cells and organelles at unprecedented spatial resolution, paving the way for new discoveries on cell structure-function coupling at the subcellular level.
This interdisciplinary workshop aims to bring together experts from diverse fields who contribute to improving our understanding of the nanoscale landscape of the nervous system and its impact on brain function, from electron microscopy to image analysis, machine learning, deep learning, and computational modeling.

Dopamine is an important neurotransmitter in the brain that modulates complex behaviors such as movement, reward, motivation, and memory. The activity of dopaminoceptive neurons in the forebrain is altered in a variety of conditions, including Parkinson’s disease, addiction, and schizophrenia.
Unraveling the molecular signals and circuits involved in the actions of dopamine in the normal and pathological brain has been the focus of Jean-Antoine Girault’s scientific career, collaborating with prominent international leaders and making seminal discoveries in this rapidly expanding field.

The 2024 IFM Colloquium, organized in honor of Jean-Antoine Girault’s career, will showcase 12 keynote speakers who will address various aspects of neurotransmission and signaling in the striatal circuits underlying motivation and movement, both in physiological conditions and in various disorders that mainly affect dopaminergic signaling (e.g., Parkinson’s disease, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or drug addiction). Our goal is to cover most aspects of basal ganglia involvement in action selection and procedural learning (i.e., habit formation), as well as related disorders, to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date view of this dynamic field.

Space and time will be allocated to poster presentations.

This multidisciplinary conference will bring together experts in various fields in early-life adversity and children’s/youth mental health and well-being. Neurobiologists will focus on the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of early-life adversity, vulnerability and resilience and related psycho-affective disorders. They will highlight the social and clinical implications of their studies investigating the effects of stress-related and other biological factors during the critical period. Specialists in the psychological and clinical domains will bring their professional experience from their work with children and youth-related programs. Educators and policy-makers will discuss practical and logistical considerations in implementing pro-development and mental health awareness programs at the community and societal levels. This conference is a unique opportunity that provides space for inter-disciplinary dialogue. It hopes to bring to the panel diverse perspectives that can mutually inform each other and collectively forge broadly received recommendations and plan of action to address the growing concerns regarding the global youth mental health crisis. These resolutions aim to contribute to a wider movement that works towards a better integrated vision of a future world able to better protect the well-being of children and youth.

Deadline for registration: 31/07/2024
