ISN Satellite Meetings
Astrocytic Control of Brain Circuits and Behavior
REGISTRATION IS OPEN!
Early Bird Registration: April 28
Regular Registration: July 14

Date: 5-6 August 2023
Venue: ICVS – School of Medicine, Braga, Portugal
Organizers: João Filipe Oliveira, Braga, (Portugal) & Christian Henneberger, University of Bonn, (Germany)
Recent technological developments allowing specific manipulation of astrocytes in behaving animals created a new research field aiming to dissect the role of astrocytes in higher brain functions. Neuron-glial networks display a surprising degree of complexity, where astrocyte neurochemical signaling modulates neuronal circuit function. This dialogue at the cellular level is reflected in the network outputs, thereby affecting the production of behavior.
This satellite event will gather experts to discuss the contribution of the underlying astrocyte physiological mechanisms to this equation: molecular, morphological, metabolic, and functional heterogeneity; and the balance between focal and global calcium astrocyte activity.
This diverse panel will also ensure a stimulating discussion based on various opinions and approaches to tackle the common goal of understanding astrocyte modulation of neural circuits and behavior.

The Brain in Flux: Genetic, Physiologic, and Therapeutic Perspectives on Transporters in the Nervous System
Held as a satellite meeting to the ISN-ESN biennial meeting in Porto (Portugal), and as a joint meeting with NeuroTrans, a European Training Network (ETN) from the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Innovative Training Networks (MSCA ITN) of the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 framework.
The Brain in Flux – MSCA NeuroTrans Joint Satellite Meeting, hosted in the city of Gaia, close to the historic center of Porto, will offer you an excellent opportunity to gather new knowledge, show your data, and network with fellow neurotransmitter transporter aficionados.
Date: 12-15 August 2023
Venue: Porto, Portugal (To be announced)
Organizers: Harald H. Sitte (Austria) & Ulrik Gether (Denmark)
