Estimados colegas

Como presidente (electo) de la sección de Latinoamérica de la Society for Social Neuroscience (S4SN: http://www.s4sn.org/), les escribo para invitarlos a inscribirse como miembros de la Sociedad. Con 15 nuevos miembros ya podemos solicitar que un Annual Meeting de la S4SN se haga en Sudamérica y que nuestra comunidad regional vaya teniendo cada vez más presencia en la sociedad.

El costo de la membresía es de $35 para estudiantes, y  $75 para académicos y además de brindar beneficios para el Annual Meeting (este año es en Chicago, Noviembre: ver acá) incluye: comunicación con una red amplia de investigadores en el área de Social Neuroscience, acceso al directorio de todos los miembros, descuento para la suscripción del Journal Social Neuroscience; descuentos en las inscripciones de todos los meeting de la S4SN, suscripción de la Member Newsletter; participación en los Board of Directors Election y otras actividades de la sociedad.

Para inscribirse siga este link: http://www.s4sn.org/join-or-renew-membership/

Mediante la S4SN todos aquellos que trabajen en el área (en humanos o animales) podrán incrementar la visibilidad, comunicación y colaboración con una red internacional de expertos en neurociencia social.

Les solicito la difusión de este mail a quien consideren conveniente.

Esperando que esta invitación sea de su interés me despido,

Agustin Ibáñez

2015 Call for Applications | Deadline: April 8

The Latin American Training Program (LATP) supports the professional and scientific development of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who are citizens or permanent residents of a Latin American or Caribbean country. Building on the legacy of the Ricardo Miledi Neuroscience Training Program, LATP has expanded to a yearlong multidimensional online program.

The school invites students to gain first-hand experience in approaching neuroethological model systems and to interact and network with leaders in neuroethological research.

Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to announce a new neuroscience summer course – “Behaviour and Neural Systems”.
This course is part of the CAJAL Advanced Neuroscience Training Programme sponsored by FENS and IBRO and hosted at the Champalimaud Centre in Lisbon, Portugal.

We will introduce early-career neuroscientists to the new technologies used to study behaviour. The course will be entirely hands-on, providing in-depth experience with advanced topics such as automation, computer vision, closed-loop control and virtual reality. Students will build their own hardware and write their own software for monitoring and analyzing the behaviour of fish, flies, rodents and humans. Throughout the course, world-leading scientists will discuss how to use these new tools for measuring “what the brain does” (behaviour) to advance our understanding of “how the brain works”. The course will conclude with a 5 day independent research project, supervised by experts in the field, during which students may explore entirely novel questions and consolidate their new knowledge.
Our goal is for every student to return to their home lab with the skills required to implement (and advance) state-of-the-art experiments in behavioural neuroscience.

Date and Location:
12 July – 1 August 2015

The Sociedad Chilena de Neurociencia (SCN) calls doctoral thesis studentsand postdocs to apply to participate in the “Young Neuroscientists Symposium” of this Congress.
Participants in this very special symposium will be selected by contest, according to their merits.

The Federation of Neuroscience Societies in Latin American, the Caribbean and the Iberian Peninsula (FALAN) invites all interested in participating in the Satellite Courses under the 9th World Congress of Neuroscience IBRO 2015 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The satellite courses are:
1_ Cortical circuits: Anatomical, physiological and computational approaches to understand function and plasticity.
2_ Lessons from wild brains: the art of neuroethology.
3_ New roles for glial cells in health and disease – changing the focus from neurons.
4_ Neuroethics: a dialogue between philosophy and neuroscience.

Those interested can see the full program and run on the official site of Falan and Ibro on the links shown below.
Look forward to your presence.
