Conferences

Attendees will give 20-minute research talks on their work, as well as in-depth 45-minute tutorials on theoretical techniques relevant to their research. Tutorials will be presented white board style to encourage uninhibited and detailed technical discussion, a deeper understanding of the diverse techniques used in modern theoretical neuroscience, and hopefully a stronger sense of community. We see this as a unique learning opportunity for everyone involved and intend for it to be an enjoyable experience.

We encourage applications from junior scientists studying how the brain and body communicate throughout life. We welcome a broad array of ideas, approaches and model systems and will also consider those working at the interface between theory and experiment. The workshop will broadly focus on the physiology and development of brain-body communication systems (e.g., interoceptive coding, neuroimmune axis, innervation of peripheral organs, regulation of brain-body circuits by social interactions, new imaging technologies, etc.).

Applications are open to anyone interested in understanding the full spectrum of optical imaging capabilities, including graduate students, postdocs, independent scientists, faculty and core facility managers. To be considered, applicants must justify their need to learn imaging on multiple modalities, expand on prior imaging experience, and explain their motivation for taking the course and how it will help their work. The course is designed to provide advanced training in optical microscopy. Prior microscopy experience is strongly encouraged.
