Neuromodulation of Neural Microcircuits NM² conference

The Blue Brain Project is delighted to announce that it will be hosting the second Neuromodulation of Neural Microcircuits NM² conference led by Srikanth Ramaswamy and Henry Markram. It will take place on May 24 – 26, in Champéry, Valais.
The overarching goal of the second NM² Conference is to provide a unifying and mechanistic view by which an ever-increasing number of neuromodulators, including monoamines, and peptides – the master switches – control genes, proteins, neurons and glia, dendrites, synapses, and emergent states in neural microcircuits across different brain regions in health and disease.
Building such a mechanistic view of neuromodulation encounters several fundamental challenges to consider:
- How do sensory signals, internal brain states, and computations in microcircuits, trigger the release of specific neuromodulators?
- How do neuronal assemblies and larger brain circuits respond to neuromodulators?
- How do neuromodulators shape synaptic plasticity and brain states?
Our fundamental objective is to organize a dynamic conference that will highlight an up-to-date view of the neuromodulation of brain states, establish future directions, and attract new talent to drive forward this important field.

POSTER ABSTRACTS
When submitting an abstract PhD students and Postdocs are encouraged to apply for Blue Brain travel awards to participate in the NM2 Conference. Awards, which are only open to those who submit abstracts, include registration for the Conference (including accommodation and full board), and travel support. Some of the submitted abstracts will be selected for flash talks.
Please feel free to contact Dace Stiebrina should you have any questions concerning the conference.
