| BrainFacts.org - new website explores the wonders of the brain and mind |
|
 IBRO joins the Canadian Institutes of Health Research; Dana Foundation; NINDS; NIMH; the Foundation for Biomedical Research; and the Wellcome Trust as an inaugural Content Partner in the newly launched www.BrainFacts.org. Initiated by the Society for Neuroscience, the Gatsby Charitable Foundation and the Kavli Foundation, the site will be a major step forward in presenting the brain and neuroscience in an accessible way to the public, organized to reflect the deep interconnections between topics in the field. We can imagine that there will be many ideas and possibilities imagined for the future, including ways to leverage this powerful technology and strategy platform to pursue new activities and partnerships that take advantage of Web-based communications. |

| InEurope Short Stay Grants |
|
| Applications are made on line. You may apply at any time. There are no
hard copies of applications. Selections are made several times during
the year. Selected applicants will be notified at the end of February,
May, August and November. Applicants who are not selected in one round
of evaluations will remain in competition for the next round. Stays in a host laboratory may be completed at any time within 2012. Within two
weeks of the conclusion of the research activity, laureates are
required to send a brief report suitable for posting on the IBRO web
site. Pictures are always welcome. |

| FENS-IBRO Partially Supported School: Evolution of Concepts on Pain |
| 6/3/2012
-> 6/10/2012 |
Siena, Italy. The school will present in detail the recent status and advances in functional neuroanatomy, electrophysiology, neuroimaging, molecular cell biology, pharmacology, genetics, psychology and sociology of pain, including an astonishing new role for the placebo-effect. The many different scientific facets are beginning to form a new integrative bio-psycho-social concept that will lead to novel therapeutic and preventive approaches to pain in health care. |

|
| FENS-IBRO SfN School: "Chemical Senses: Neurobiology and Behavior" |
| 6/3/2012
-> 6/8/2012 |
Bertinoro, Italy. This School we will cover the basics of the Chemical Senses, the latest
developments, and we will highlight open questions for future research,
so that participants will learn the state of the art of olfactory and
taste systems.

|
| WERC: Cortical Interneurons in Health and Disease |
| 6/24/2012
-> 6/27/2012 |
Mallorca, Spain. The specific aim of the Workshop is to bring together world-class experts on very different aspects of the biology of cortical interneurons. This meeting may contribute to bridging the gap between different fields, leading to a better understanding of cortical interneurons in health and disease. The IBRO-WERC will partially fund travel grants to this conference. |

| FENS-IBRO Training Center: Advanced Course in Computational Neuroscience |
| 7/30/2012
-> 8/24/2012 |
Bedlewo, Poland. A very important aspect of the ACCN is that the students develop into a
cohesive, tight-knit group, and so provide support, networking and
scientific advice to each other long after the course is over. These
bonds are extremely important for building successful scientific
careers, and so we make every effort to ensure that they are formed
early and strengthened throughout the course.

|
| FENS-IBRO Training Center: Imaging Neural Function |
| 8/26/2012
-> 9/14/2012 |
 Lausanne/Geneva. The 3-week course in neuroscience will consist of lectures that will progress from the principles of imaging techniques to important recent advanced applications such as voltage-sensitive dye imaging, intrinsic optical signal imaging, in vivo 2-photon imaging, optogenetics and others. In the afternoon the students will work on a scientific project allowing them to gain hands-on experience with most of the aforementioned imaging techniques. |

|
|
| Interregional School of Computational Neuroscience |
| 12/5/2012
-> 12/21/2012 |
 Hyderabad, India. The aim of this course is to escalate efforts to bridge the wide gap between experimental data and conceptual understanding of brain phenomena. To achieve this, the Inter-regional Committee proposes to bring together professionals and students from various regions and backgrounds to share knowledge, expertise and ideas and, in the process, train participants for a career in computational and theoretical neuroscience. Deadline for applications: June 29, 2012. |
