SUMMARY:ISN Satellite Workshop Astrocytic Control of Brain Circuits and Behavior
DESCRIPTION:Chairs \nJoão Filipe Oliveira\, Braga\, Portugal \nChristian Henneberger\, University of Bonn\, Germany \n  \nScientific description \nRecent 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. \nThis 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. \nThis 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. \n  \nSpeakers \nAlfonso Araque – University of Minnesota\, USA \nAmit Agarwal – Heidelberg University\, Germany \nAnnalisa Scimemi – University at Albany\, USA \nAudrey Denizot – Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology\, Japan \nAxel Nimmerjahn – Salk Institute\, USA \nChris Dulla – Tufts University\, USA \nChristian Henneberger – Institute of Cellular Neurosciences\, University of Bonn\, Germany \nGertrudis Perea – Cajal Institute\, Spain \nInbal Goshen – The Hebrew University\, Israel \nJoão Filipe Oliveira – ICVS\, School of Medicine\, University of Minho\, Braga\, Portugal \nMatthew Holt – i3S\, Porto\, Portugal \nRune Enger – University of Oslo\, Norway \nRuth Beckvordersandforth – Friedrich-Alexander-Universität\, Germany \nTommaso Fellin – Instituto Italiano di Tecnologia\, Genova\, Italy \nYukiko Goda – RIKEN Center for Brain Science\, Japan \n  \nDeadlines: \nRegistration is open! \nEarly Bird Registration: April 28 \nRegular Registration: July 14 \n  \nFurther information here: \nhttps://b-acis.pt/workshops/isn-satellite-astrocytic-mechanisms/

SUMMARY:ICVS Advanced Seminar "Survival strategies of malaria parasites in the dry season"
DESCRIPTION:Next Monday at 1 pm\, don’t miss Silvia Portugal “Survival strategies of malaria parasites in the dry season” at the A0.03 auditorium in UMinho’s School of Medicine. \nDr. Silvia Portugal’s academic journey began with a Biology degree from the Faculty of Sciences at the University of Porto\, awarded in 2003. She advanced her expertise with a Ph.D. from the Institute of Molecular Medicine (IMM) and the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Lisbon\, completed in 2010. Her postdoctoral tenure at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) from 2011 to 2016 was pivotal\, as she conducted significant research into the molecular mechanisms of malaria pathogenesis. In 2016\, Dr. Portugal took on the role of Junior Group Leader at Heidelberg University\, where she led groundbreaking research projects until 2020. Her work during this period focused on deciphering the complexities of Plasmodium falciparum’s life cycle and its evasion of the human immune system. Since 2020\, Dr. Portugal has been leading her research group at the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology as a Lise Meitner Group Leader\, a prestigious position within the Lise Meitner Excellence Program. Her group’s research has been pivotal in identifying key factors that contribute to the persistence of malaria parasites during the dry season\, a crucial aspect of malaria transmission. Dr. Portugal’s research has been published in numerous high-impact scientific journals\, establishing her as a thought leader in the field. Her insights into the adaptive strategies of malaria parasites and their implications for malaria control are particularly influential. As a speaker at major scientific conferences\, Dr. Portugal’s presentations not only share her groundbreaking findings but also encourage collaborative efforts to combat malaria globally. Her curriculum vitae reflects her commitment to scientific inquiry\, with a focused aim of improving global health outcomes through her research on malaria.

SUMMARY:Sagittal Alignment and Anterior Correction Techniques Instructional Course
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the Sagittal Alignment and Anterior Correction Techniques Instructional Course focusing on the sagittal parameters and techniques to achieve global sagittal alignment through the disc space via the various Anterior approaches to the Spine. Sagittal plane measurements are recognized as being the most important radiographic parameters across numerous spinal pathologies. You will therefore learn how to analyse the key Sagittal parameters by identifying imbalance and how to work through the ways of identifying the best surgical options for each patient. The various anterior approaches are then described and trained by the expert faculty to be followed by hands-on practice in the cadaveric lab. The course concludes with discussion around the associated vascular complications with hands-on repair techniques in the live tissue lab. This course is a unique opportunity to combine and get familiar with the pre-op sagittal alignment planning and the surgical treatment of the degenerative deformities of the spine by sharing knowledge between the faculty and delegates.
