1st HBP Curriculum workshop series Understanding the brain: Neurobiology for non-specialists

3-5 July 2017, Medical University Innsbruck, Austria

Website: https://education.humanbrainproject.eu/web/1st-hbp-curriculum-neurobiology

Description The aim of this interactive workshop is to provide practical insights into basic and translational neuroscience research for interested non-specialists. The topics addressed range from essential neuroanatomy and neurophysiology, over IPS cells, to networks and behaviour. Plasticity and modulation of networks and signal transmission under physiological (like learning and memory) and pathological situations (like addiction, epilepsy or neurodegeneration) will form an essential part.

1st HBP Curriculum workshop series New horizons in clinical neuroscience: Brain medicine for non-specialists

5-7 July 2017, Medical University Innsbruck, Austria

Website: https://education.humanbrainproject.eu/web/1st-hbp-curriculum-brain-medicine

Description The aim of this interactive workshop is to deepen and complete the online course on brain medicine for non-specialists with the most recent advances in research of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders. Lectures and tutorials by international experts will report the state of the art of research and treatment of brain diseases. Representatives of the Allen Institute for Brain Science (AI, USA) and the Human Brain Project (HBP, Europe) will present novel avenues for exploiting large biological datasets for future classification of brain diseases, which may lead to new strategies for developing therapeutics.
