The symposium, From Cortical Microcircuits to Consciousness, aims at bringing together the Human Brain Project’s neuroscientists and invited guests to present their latest achievements in understanding neurocircuit dynamics. Theories of consciousness will be reviewed and challenged by new findings from brain circuits and behavior. The involvement of neuronal and neuroglial cells in brain functioning, memory, learning, cognition and consciousness in health and disease will be discussed from the experimental and theoretical perspective.

The symposium will offer a hands-on session on The Virtual Brain, the platform of EBRAINS for constructing and simulating personalized brain network models. EBRAINS is the European research infrastructure for gathering, processing, and simulating brain data.

International Society for Developmental Neuroscience 2022 will feature an exciting and diverse scientific program focused on recent advances and future directions in fundamental and applied developmental neuroscience.

Human Brain Project and EBRAINS together with the University of Copenhagen invite the entire scientific community, in particular early career researchers, to join the Young Researchers Event on May 16, 2022 at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark.

The event will introduce participants to EBRAINS and offer opportunities to exchange information and knowledge with peers. 

The Functional Architecture of Memory conference features leading experts on memory function from USA, Canada, UK, Spain, and Germany.

The Functional Architecture of Memory conference aims to bring new insights on today's major controversies in recognition memory by bridging human and animal memory function. The goal of the conference is to integrate findings emerging from behavioral, in-vivo and in-vitro electrophysiology, mutagenesis, molecular biology, optogenetics, and fMRI techniques.

The conference starts with a Data Blitz Session to which participants are welcome to contribute. There will be a speakers/students only round table each day.

The PAIR-UP Advanced Imaging Workshop is designed to provide training in the following major areas:

1. Advanced fluorescence microscopy using fluorescent probes, fluorescent biosensors, and including TIRF, Confocal laser scanning microscopy, and light-sheet microscopy.

2. Super-resolution techniques for live cell imaging including Zeiss Airyscan and structured illumination microscopy (SIM). In addition, the workshop will provide guidance on appropriate sample preparation, including choice of fluorescent probes and fluorescent proteins, and refractive index matching. The workshop is a hands-on workshop. Black imaging scientists are strongly encouraged to attend if you use or plan to use advanced imaging equipment

The Brain & Brain PET 2022 satellite symposium "PET for brain connectivity: back to the future?" gathers scientists who apply Positron Emission Tomography for the estimation of brain connectivity.

At this symposium participants will learn about:

• how PET can contribute to the field of brain connectivity
• common methods and applications of PET-based connectivity modelling
• publicly available PET datasets and tools to allow image analyses in absence of own data

Registration for attendance (in person or virtual) is completely free and includes all conference materials and catering.

Five travel bursaries for trainees, PhD students, and post-doctoral researchers are available to support in-person attendance. Deadline to apply: April 28th, 2022

The event is sponsored by the International Society for Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism and the International Brain Research Organization.

The EBRAINS Brain Simulation School 2022 aims at introducing the participants to the latest achievements and innovations of the digital infrastructure for brain research EBRAINS, created by the Human Brain Project. The School will offer tutorials on EBRAINS Tools and eServices. The students will be presented with the overview of the EBRAINS research platform, discussed by the leaders of the Human Brain Project, and gain practical skills in using EBRAINS resources to implement cellular and network level computational models, to use EBRAINS Computing Services configure and run simulations, and to visualize/analyze the results. Through tutorials, interactive sessions and hands-on activities, attendees will learn how to interact with EBRAINS to carry out their own research, to set up and manage a data-driven collaborative project, or to use the EBRAINS platform to interact with internal and external databases.

The target audience of this school are advanced master students, doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers in biomedical and technology sciences, from medicine, biology, psychology, to mathematics, informatics, information technology, physics, chemistry, who would like to get an introduction to the neuroinformatics and computational neuroscience tools available in the EBRAINS Infrastructure. The event is limited to 40 participants.

Every two years, the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience (NIN), organizes a Summer School. In 2022, the subject of the Summer School is Neurotechnology.

The Summer School features lectures from 11 internationally recognized top-level scientists. The event is a gathering of experts in neuroscience and technology and covers many aspects of this rapidly emerging field. 

The Human Brain Project and EBRAINS invite interested scientists to join the forthcoming EBRAINS Workshop on Brain Activity Across Scales and Species: Analysis of Experiments and Simulations (BASSES).

The goal of the BASSES Workshop is to provide an overview of the scientific topic of brain states and complexity, state transitions, and their connection with cognitive functions, and to demonstrate the achievements in this field obtained within the Human Brain Project thanks to the functionalities provided by the EBRAINS research platforms.

Lectures will showcase the latest advancements in analysis strategies and whole-brain modelling tools. Hands-On Sessions will allow the participants to be actively engaged and test the EBRAINS functionalities for data storage, curation, analysis, and modelling.

TOXINS, the 6^th International Conference is the premier venue for consideration of the latest developments in the basic science and clinical applications of neurotoxins. The scientific program ― presented by experts in their respective fields ― will be of interest to basic scientists and clinicians in the fields of neurology, physical medicine and rehabilitation, dermatology, aesthetic medicine, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, urology, gastroenterology, and pain management.

Episirus Scientifica welcomes you to attend the 2022 World Neuroscience and Psychiatry Conference (2022WNPC) held from September 9 - 10, 2022.
