Register for Stress-Induced Acetylcholine Signaling in Affective Behaviors: Too Much of a Good Thing? by selecting the attached link. Acetylcholine (ACh) transmission is critical for cognition and attention, but is also released in response to stress. Importantly, ACh levels are dysregulated in the brains of human depressed subjects. Using the example of ACh signaling in stress-relevant be

Register now for Seeing Into the Synapse: Exploring a Nanoscale World by selecting the attached link. Communication in all neural circuits is controlled by a remarkably similar, highly specialized site of cell-cell contact known as a synapse. The human brain contains trillions of these structures. Many open questions remain regarding how synapses are formed and lost, their nanoscale organ

Register for Where and When Neuromodulatory Signaling Meets Behavior by following the attached link. Neuromodulators influence communication across brain areas by shaping the activity of neurons as well as the strength and plasticity of their synapses, ultimately promoting behavioral switching. This webinar will review a research journey from ion channel neuromodulation via receptors loca
Register for “You Can’t Respect the Brain and Be a Neurosurgeon” and Other Tall Tales by selecting the attached link. Neurosurgeons have unique access to the human brain. In just the last 10 years, neurosurgical techniques have advanced rapidly such that opportunities to study neural activity and neuromodulation in acute and chronic settings have multiplied. This session will discuss how a
Register for Exploration of Tissue Ecosystem: Pandora’s Box as Revealed by Gene Expression by selecting the attached link. Spatial transcriptomics was the first method to provide unbiased whole transcriptome analysis with spatial information from tissue. Since its publication in 2016, the method has been used in multiple biological systems and represents the most widely used spatial trans
Register for Cultural Influences on the Way to Do and Interpret Our Science by selecting the following link. This session will discuss how ethnicity, gender, vocabulary, and culture affect the types of experiments scientists perform, how they interpret their findings, and what career decisions they make. This includes the terminology that neuroscience uses to describe regions and functions of
Register for Go With the (Visual Flow): An Experimentalist’s Path to Understanding Motor Control by selecting the attached link. A previous circus performer from Buenos Aires, Argentina, Eugenia Chiappe, PhD, is interested in how animals move through space so effortlessly. Her lab at the Champalimaud Foundation in Portugal, studies the structure and function of visuomotor circuits in the fly
Register for The Allure of Computational Neurosceince by selecting the following link. Many of the brain’s most intriguing mechanisms are difficult, if not impossible, to measure directly. For this reason, neuroscientists create artificial models of the brain, inspired by real biology, and study in tandem with carefully directed measurements. Computational neuroscience merges biology’s sea
Register for My Journey to Find the Neural Basis of Space, Time, and Memory by selecting the attached link. This webinar will reflect upon the speaker’s progression — from a curious child interested in animal behavior, to a neuroscientist evaluating neural processes underlying cognitive functions — and discuss how current technology enables the study of thousands of brain cells simultaneou
REGISTER NOW! The Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS) and the Society for Neuroscience (SfN) are delighted to announce their strategic collaboration on priority areas including scientific training and career development. The two organizations recognize the importance of thinking globally about science and the enrichment that comes from a global perspective. The FENS Committee
Boxing Day is held every December 26th in many countries associated with the British empire. It started as a day to give gifts to the household staff of Britain’s upper classes but has morphed into a sort of shopping holiday of its own. In fact, its one of the most popular days to return Christmas gifts to the stores.
