ISYNC: International SynAGE Conference on Healthy Ageing

The SynAGE committee members are thrilled to host ISYNC, the International SynAGE conference on healthy ageing, on 28-30 March 2022 in Magdeburg, Germany. This conference has been entirely organised from young scientists of the SynAGE research training group RTG 2413 (www.synage.de) and represents a unique occasion for researchers from all over the world to bring together and join great talks and sessions with us and our guests. A constantly updated list of our speakers can be found on the conference webpage: www.isync-md.de. During the conference, attendees will have access to a range of symposia which will deal with Glia, Biomarkers and Immunoresponses during ageing to neurodegeneration brain integrity and cognitive function in health and diseases. Moreover, the conference will offer social events especially for young researchers and the possibility to network together in a beautiful and suggestive location where our conference will take place: the Johanniskirche. The event will be happening in person, but due to the current pandemic situation and restrictions we are planning the conference as a hybrid event with lots of technical support to ensure that every participant can follow the talks and take part in the scientific discussions. The registration to our ISYNC conference is free of charge. However, the number of people attending the conference in person is restricted to 100. Afterwards, registrations will be accepted for joining virtually only. The registration is open until 15.02.2022. Especially for PhD and MD Students: Check our available Travel Grants, Poster Prize and SynAGE Award Dinner: https://www.isync-md.de/index.php/phd-md-specials/ If you need any further information don’t hesitate to contact us via email: contact@synage.de. We are looking forward to meet you in 2022 in Magdeburg to discuss about our research and ideas and bless together science. Your ISYNC organization Committee

Birds balance with their butts” by Bing Wen Brunton (Associate Prof of Biology at University of Washington, Seattle) 2. “The brain in motion” by Jenifer L. Campos (Associate Prof, University of Toronto) 3. “Getting ready for Mars: what happens to the brain in space?” By Elisa R Ferre (Senior Lecturer, Birkbeck University of London)

Edge Computing using Spiking Neural Networks

Deep learning has made tremendous progress in the last year but it's high computational and memory requirements impose challenges in using deep learning on edge devices. There has been some progress in lowering memory requirements of deep neural networks (for instance, use of half-precision) but there has been minimal effort in developing alternative efficient computational paradigms. Inspired by the brain, Spiking Neural Networks (SNN) provide an energy-efficient alternative to conventional rate-based neural networks. However, SNN architectures that employ the traditional feedforward and feedback pass do not fully exploit the asynchronous event-based processing paradigm of SNNs. In the first part of my talk, I will present my work on predictive coding which offers a fundamentally different approach to developing neural networks that are particularly suitable for event-based processing. In the second part of my talk, I will present our work on development of approaches for SNNs that target specific problems like low response latency and continual learning.

British Neuroscience Association (BNA) Festival - 2021

In April 2021, in partnership with the UK Dementia Research Institute, the British Neuroscience Association will host its fifth Festival of Neuroscience. Due to the ongoing uncertainty around COVID19, our 2021 event will be the first ever online Festival of Neuroscience. Although we are sorry to miss meeting in person, we're excited to create a whole new Festival experience! The ambition and scope of the BNA Festivals make them unparalleled across neuroscience. Being online will not change how the BNA2021 event will: - bring together multiple organisations with an interest in brain research at a single, shared event, creating a novel, multi-organisation forum featuring all areas of fundamental research in neuroscience and psychology, from both academia and the commercial sector, plus clinical expertise in neurology and psychiatry. - include a programme of public events as well. Past Festivals have seen a rap performance about consciousness, lunchtime talks, sessions in schools, and much more.

Over the past five years, our understanding of how mechanical processes act across multiple scales to direct morphogenesis has advanced significantly. Yet, there remain numerous open questions, including the role of mechanics in tissue shaping, cancer dissemination, and cellular aging. The From Molecules to Organs:The Mechanobiology of Morphogenesis conference will bring together world leaders in the fields of mechanobiology and morphogenesis. The three-day conference will span scales, from single molecules up to whole organisms.

Neurotoxicity is a major health problem in Africa: focus on Parkinson's / Parkinsonism

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most present neurodegenerative disease in the world after Alzheimer's. It is due to the progressive and irreversible loss of dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra Pars Compacta. Alpha synuclein deposits and the appearance of Lewi bodies are systematically associated with it. PD is characterized by four cardinal motor symptoms: bradykinesia / akinesia, rigidity, postural instability and tremors at rest. These symptoms appear when 80% of the dopaminergic endings disappear in the striatum. According to Braak's theory, non-motor symptoms appear much earlier and this is particularly the case with anxiety, depression, anhedonia, and sleep disturbances. In 90 to 95% of cases, the causes of the appearance of the disease remain unknown, but polluting toxic molecules are incriminated more and more. In Africa, neurodegenerative diseases of the Parkinson's type are increasingly present and a parallel seems to exist between the increase in cases and the presence of toxic and polluting products such as metals. My Web conference will focus on this aspect, i.e. present experimental arguments which reinforce the hypothesis of the incrimination of these pollutants in the incidence of Parkinson's disease and / or Parkinsonism. Among the lines of research that we have developed in my laboratory in Rabat, Morocco, I have chosen this one knowing that many of our PhD students and IBRO Alumni are working or trying to develop scientific research on neurotoxicity in correlation with pathologies of the brain.

Neuroscience tools for the 99%: On the low-fi development of high-tech lab gear for hands-on neuroscience labs and exploratory research

The public has a fascination with the brain, but little attention is given to neuroscience education prior to graduate studies in brain-related fields. One reason may be the lack of low cost and engaging teaching materials. To address this, we have developed a suite of open-source tools which are appropriate for amateurs and for use in high school, undergraduate, and graduate level educational and research programs. This lecture will provide an overview of our mission to re-engineer research-grade lab equipment using first principles and will highlight basic principles of neuroscience in a "DIY" fashion: neurophysiology, functional electrical stimulation, micro-stimulation effect on animal behavior, neuropharmacology, even neuroprosthesis and optogenetics! Finally, with faculty academic positions becoming a scarce resource, I will discuss an alternative academic career path: entrepreneurship. It is possible to be an academic, do research, publish papers, present at conferences and train students all outside the traditional university setting. I will close by discussing my career path from graduate student to PI/CEO of a startup neuroscience company.
