The BNA will be holding its international FESTIVAL OF NEUROSCIENCE 10-13 April 2017 at the ICC, Birmingham. Follow links on the left (or above if viewing on a mobile) to explore the event.
MQ is hosting the largest international scientific meeting dedicated solely to mental health science.
The conference will bring together different parties (researchers and practitioners) to share and explore ways in which research and evidence about how we learn can be used more effectively to improve educational practice and impact on young people’s learning.
This will be a working conference including roundtable discussions facilitated by Professor Derek Bell, Director of Learnus.
Neuroscientists from and around Nottingham are invited to present posters on their recent research and to discuss with their colleagues. The two best posters presented by postgraduate students will be awarded a prize.
This year's lecture will be presented by Professor Paul Harrison who will give a lecture on “Recent advances in schizophrenia genetics and their implications”.
The event is open and welcomes everybody who wishes to attend!
Many human diseases emerge late in life. Dr Ehud Cohen's laboratory studies the mechanisms that link the aging process to late onset disorders that are associated with toxic protein aggregation at the molecular and cell biological levels. Practically they ask: what goes wrong with aging? To address that question they use nematodes, cells and a variety of biochemical, cell biological, microscopic and in-vitro research techniques.

The burden of mental health disorders continues to grow with a huge impact on individuals, families, and healthcare provision.
This year's BNA Christmas Symposium, held at London's KCL, will bring together leading researchers to describe what neuroscience has contributed to the diagnosis, management and treatment of mental health disorders.
Host: Prof Annette Dolphin
The Scottish TSE Network (STN) will host their annual one-day international symposium at the Roslin Institute (Edinburgh, UK) on state of the art approaches to studying neurodegenerative diseases that are consistent with the 3R principles (replacement, refinement, reduction) of animals in research.
Topics will include cell-free protein misfolding assays, human stem cell-based approaches and transgenic C. elegans and Drosophila models, in addition to the opportunities offered by tissue banking and in silico analysis.
The European Parliament Office for Scientific and Technological Option Assessment (STOA) together with the European Commission and the Human Brain Project (HBP) are organising a workshop event on "Understanding the human brain – a new ERA of big neuroscience".
Key leading scientists will provide an overview of three major brain research initiatives that were launched over the last three years in the world: (i) the Japanese BRAIN/MINDS project, (ii) the US Brain Initiative, and (iii) the EU Human Brain Flagship project. It will be followed by a panel discussion. An exhibition of the EU HBP Flagship is planned to take place on that day in the Altiero Spinelli building (ASP balcony 5G). The event will be followed by a drink in the MEP restaurant at 17h30.
The annual meeting of the Society for Neurocience (SfN) is the premier venue for neuroscientists to present emerging science, learn from experts, collaborate with peers, explore new tools and technologies, and advance careers.
Neuroscience 2016, the 46th annual meeting, will take place November 12-16 at the San Diego Convention Center. Join more than 30,000 colleagues from more than 80 countries at the world’s largest marketplace of ideas and tools for global neuroscience.
All BNA members can register for SfN at reduced member rates, and submit posters for slots reserved for International Society Members!
The 1.5-day Annual Meeting of the International Neuroethics Society will convene hundreds of renowned neuroethicists, bioethicists, neuroscientists, researchers, lawyers, philosophers, physicians, students, and other professionals to explore research and scholarship at the intersection of ethics and neuroscience.
The International Neuroethics Society is an interdisciplinary group of scholars, scientists, clinicians and other professionals who share an interest in the social, legal, ethical and policy implications of advances in neuroscience, whose mission is to promote the development and responsible application of neuroscience through interdisciplinary and international research, education, outreach and public engagement for the benefit of people of all nations, ethnicities, and cultures.
Taking place just prior to the 2016 Society for Neuroscience meeting, delegates could easily attend both conferences in the same trip.

Resources are limited and dementia research should therefore focus on caring not curing.
This free public discussion will bring together a panel of experts to discuss this issue in a Question Time format:
Gill Livingston (Chair), University College London
Caitlin Aspinall, The Lancet Neurology
Nick Fox, Institute of Neurology
Gillian Harrison, Alzheimer's Society Research Network
Rob Howard, University College London
Valentina Iemmi, London School of Economics
James Pickett, Alzheimer's Society
The public discussion will be followed by a drinks reception at 7-8pm.
Dr. Linsdell's lab is carrying out research to understand the structure and function of CFTR, the chloride channel that is mutated in cystic fibrosis. They are using electrophysiological recording techniques to study the detailed function of normal and mutant forms of the protein.
Host: Dr Paola Vergani
Seminar: KCL/External
Speaker(s): Dr Cahir O'Kane, Reader in Genetics, Dept of Genetics, University of Cambridge

A seminar led by Prof Erin Schuman, Director of the Max Planck Institute for Brain, Frankfurt Germany. Prof Schuman is interested in the ways by which cell biological mechanisms in neurons, e.g. protein modification, gene transcription, protein synthesis and degradation, regulation of synaptic adhesion molecules, transmit information and modify circuits to store information in the brain.
Host: Dr Tommy Younts
