Registration is now open for the 30th Cambridge Neuroscience Seminar! The main topic this year is “Mental Plasticity & Development “ which brings together areas of research that highlight the interdisciplinary nature of the Psychology Department here at Cambridge. This exciting event covers research on the neural architectures and plasticity mechanisms that enable the development of knowledge, memory and skill acquisition.

There will be a data blitz session for early career researchers held during the main programme, as well as an extended poster exhibition with generous prizes!

Deadline for Abstract submission is February 26th 2018.

Professor Essi Viding (UCL Division of Psychology and Language Sciences) will deliver the Open Plenary Lecture “Why should neuroscientists care about gene-environment correlation” .

Professor Paul Fletcher (Department of Psychiatry, Cambridge) will deliver the Public Lecture – “I’m not mad: I only bend reality so that I can see around the corners” . This lecture is free to attend and will be followed by a drinks reception.

There will be a drinks reception and conference dinner at Robinson College on Monday, 12th March following the meeting (extra fee payable). Places are available for this reception and dinner.

We are pleased to announce the Connectome Workbench | Brain networks at micro- and macro-scales to be held on 11-12th September 2015 at the University of Cambridge (Sainsbury Laboratory), UK.

The Connectome Workbench brings together researchers from multidisciplinary backgrounds and aims at providing an exciting series of talks on the first day, and in-depth discussions and workshops on day 2. Lectures will focus on the complex scaling relationships of neuronal networks and potential ways to bridge the analysis of brain networks across scales. The event will also bring into focus strategies to integrate knowledge from other research disciplines, such as genetics, bioinformatics, neuroanatomy, and computer sciences.

Professor Sarah-Jayne Blakemore will give this year’s Cambridge Neuroscience public lecture titled: “Inside the Social Brain of a Teenager”. The lecture will be followed by a drinks reception.

Abstract: The brain has evolved to understand and interact with other people. This talk focuses on how the social brain, that is the network of brain regions involved in understanding others, develops during adolescence. Adolescence is a time characterised by change – hormonally, physically, psychologically and socially. Social cognitive processes involved in navigating an increasingly complex social world continue to develop throughout human adolescence. In the past 20 years, neuroscience research has shown that the human brain develops both structurally and functionally during adolescence. Areas of the social brain undergo significant reorganisation in terms of structure and function during the second decade of life, which possibly reflects a sensitive period for adapting to the social environment. I will discuss the importance of taking into account the social environment and the social brain when considering adolescent-typical behaviour.

Time, Date and Venue: 18:00-19:00, 10 th September 2015, West Road Concert Hall

Free, no registration required, all welcome. Arrive early!

Cambridge Neuroscience is delighted to announce its 5th Cambridge Neuroscience Biennial Symposium, a two-day international special symposium focusing on “Imaging the Nervous System” , which will take place on 9 th -10 th September 2015, in the West Road Concert Hall in Cambridge.

This International conference will bring together experts in the field of imaging from across the globe. Do not miss out on this excellent event right on your doorstep and the inaugural Cambridge Neuroscience Image competition.

Registration is now open for the 5th Cambridge Neuroscience Symposium – Imaging the Nervous System .

Time, Date and Venue: All day, 9-10th of September 2015, West Road Concert Hall, Cambridge.

‘The Making and Breaking of The Mind’ in association with the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, with plenary lectures by Professors John O’Keefe, Edvard Moser and Barry Everitt.

The meeting is relevant to any of you who are concerned about gender equality issues, want to know more about how our workplace environment is (hopefully) changing, discuss why gender equality is important and beneficial for the entire scientific community, or hear about some of the challenges that several leading researchers in our field and beyond have mastered throughout their career (or all of the above!). Several speakers will talk about their career paths and their view about gender equality in science, as well as about the efforts that are being done to achieve that (e.g., flexible working arrangements, Athena SWAN).

The event is aimed for both women and men. The event will include a series of talks and a panel discussion, as well as free lunch and tea with opportunities for networking. The meeting is free, but registration is required as spaces are limited .

For details and registration, please visit the meeting’s website .

Time, Date and Venue: Tuesday 10th March 2015, 10.30am to 4pm, at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit (CBSU), 15 Chaucer Road, Cambridge, CB2 7EF.

The annual Cambridge Memory Meeting (CAMM) will this year be hosted by the Bussey-Saksida Translational Cognitive Neuroscience Lab. The aim of this meeting is to encourage greater interaction between Cambridge researchers specialising in the psychology or neuroscience of learning and/or memory at a clinical and preclinical level. The meeting provides post-doc researchers and students with the opportunity to share their research in an informal manner within a supportive environment.
