September 25, 2020 – Caroline Rouaux (Inserm U1118, University of Strasbourg, France) – Evaluation of the corticofugal hypothesis in ALS
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the third most frequent neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, and the most frequent disease of the adult motoneuron. Clinically and histopathologically, ALS is defined as the simultaneous degeneration of corticospinal neurons (CSN) in… Continue reading

March 6, 2020 – Peter Hagoort (MPI for Psycholinguisics Radboud University Nijmegen) – The listening and speaking brain
The infrastructure of the human brain allows us to acquire a language without formal instruction in the first years of life. I will discuss the features that make our brain language-ready. Next to the neuro-architectural features I will discuss the… Continue reading

February 7, 2020 – Ruben Portugues – Decision making and motor control in larval zebrafish
In order to succeed in a changing environment, animals need to take into account noisy and ambiguous stimuli and select appropriate behavior. Furthermore, animals need to modify their behavior when the outcome is unsuccessful. In this talk, I will present… Continue reading

January 24, 2020 – Naguib Mechawar – Early-life adversity and its long-term influence on cerebral oligodendrocytes and myelination
Early-life adversity can have devastating and lasting consequences on individuals, considerably increasing the lifetime risk of negative mental health outcomes such as depression and suicide. Yet, the neurobiological processes underlying this increase in vulnerability remain poorly understood. I will present… Continue reading

January 17, 2020 – Martin Giurfa – Dissecting cognitive complexity in a miniature brain
Honeybees possess miniature brains but exhibit a sophisticated behavioral repertoire. In the last decades, bees have emerged as useful models for the study of the neural bases of simple forms of associative learning based on their capacity to learn elemental,… Continue reading
