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
View eventRegister 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 for Networking, Mentoring, and Diversity in Neuroscience by selecting the attached link: From the point of view of a developmental neurobiologist and university vice president promoting communications and diversity, this webinar will discuss the importance of networking, mentorship, and the need for diverse role models to inspire the next generation of neuroscientists worldwide. C
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 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 NOW! With the rapid development of large-scale neural recording technologies, there is a need for modern statistical methods to dissect and interpret neural recordings. Byron Yu will describe how dimensionality reduction and related methods can be applied to large-scale neural recordings to provide new insights about brain function. He will also discuss the benefits of quantitative a
Register Now! Join this interactive session as Julie-Anne Balouek and Catherine Jensen Peña discuss their paper, “Reactivation of early-life stress-sensitive neuronal ensembles contributes to lifelong stress hypersensitivity”, with JNeurosci Reviewing Editor, Mary Kay Lobo. Attendees can submit questions at registration and live during the webinar. Below is the significance statement of
Register Now! In this one-hour long webinar, we will discuss key points of poster preparation and presentation, including where to start, how to visualize your ideas using text and figures, how to present to different audiences, how to handle questions and discussions at your poster, and how to follow up with your audience. Each speaker will share a 10-minute presentation and there will
Register Now! Join this interactive session as Jneurosic Reviewing Editors Bruno Averbeck and Anne-Marie Oswald discuss best practices for writing computational neuroscience papers for the Journal of Neuroscience. They will offer tips and strategies for how to organize the paper and clearly present technical material to the broad neuroscience community that is the readership of the journal.
