This webinar focuses on how neural circuits underlying innate behaviours develop and how they modulate parental behaviour in adulthood.

Organised by the FENS Committee for Higher Education and Training (CHET).

Whether a first-time or long-time submitter, the FENS Friday webinar “Handling, review and publication of EJN manuscripts” will provide you with all the necessary information to publish in the European Journal of Neuroscience (EJN).

This FENS Friday live webinar provided state-of-the-art knowledge on the microbiome and its influence on immunity and the nervous system from gestation until adulthood.

This FENS Friday webinar provided a landscape perspective overclassical and modern tools for tract-tracing purposes. The goal is to provide young trainees with the best tips, ideas and background information required for selecting the neuroanatomical tracer or the best combination for a given experimental paradigm.

In this FENS Friday webinar were discussed the challenges presented by the blood brain barrier to CNS biomarker discovery and use, the potential of extracellular vesicles as novel markers of brain function and dysfunction, and the clinical relevance of established and novel blood biomarkers of neuropsychiatric disorders and brain injury. The limitations of the use of blood-borne CNS biomarkers both in the laboratory and the clinic and provide insights into the future development of novel biomarkers of brain health and disease were also explored.

The webinar was organised by the FENS Committee for Higher Educqtion qnd Trqining (CHET).

Have you ever wondered what our brains do while we are sleeping? Do all brains sleep the same? What makes their experiences differ from one another and what are the determining factors? Watch the new FENS Friday webinar “Brain on Sleep” and delve into the fascinating world of sleep research and its different states and functions.

In this FENS Friday webinar, held on 29 November 2024, we explore various methods for measuring brain electrophysiological activity and their applications in both healthy and pathological conditions.

The FENS Friday webinar “Brain development and neuropsychiatric disorders” presented the state-of-the-art knowledge on the brain’s development and how genetic disturbances and/or environmental influences are thought to underlie several neuropsychiatric disorders. Organised by the FENS Committee for Higher Education and Training (CHET).

This FENS Friday webinar is aimed for neuroscientists at any stage who wish to engage the wider audience with their research, particularly for those who are new to science communication. Organised by the Communication Committee with the support of the Dana Foundation.

Epilepsy is not only a common, often devastating disease but also a comorbidity of many neurological disorders, in which control of seizures may significantly improve quality of life and even prognosis. Recent years have witnessed major advancements in the identification of the mechanisms of disease that hold the promise to lead to new treatments. Organised by the FENS Committee for Higher Education and Training (CHET), this FENS Friday webinar provided an overview of these findings and of their potential implications not only for epilepsy but also for other neurological diseases.

Organised by the European Brain Council (EBC), the European Brain Research Area project (EBRA) and chaired by FENS President, Prof. Jean-Antoine Girault, this FENS Friday webinar focused on the importance of coordination and collaboration in the brain space highlighting the Shared European Brain Research Agenda (SEBRA).

How easy is it to communicate the needs of researchers to the general public, especially when animals are involved? This 60-minute online event aims to teach how to communicate the use of animals in scientific research responsibly and transparently.

In this FENS webinar, four speakers discussed aspects of computing that are particularly relevant for neuroscience, as well as different ways we should teach them to the new generation of neuroscientists.

This FENS live webinar aims to provide participants with useful tips on how to write a successful FENS-Dana Brain Awareness Week 2023 Grants application and how to run an engaging outreach event. The webinar will include an interactive Q&A session with the speakers to provide hands-on tips to the audience.

This webinar aimed to provide participants with useful tips on how to write a successful Brain Awareness Week (BAW) application and how to run an engaging outreach event. The webinar will include a case study of a funded BAW project and an interactive Q&A session with the panellists to provide hands-on tips to the audience.
