These courses aim to introduce ECRs and academics to hot topics outside their current research area. Each course, which is kindly sponsored by the Gatsby Charitable Foundation or the BNA, will be delivered by internationally renowned researchers and build from a broad and easy-to-understand introduction to the latest cutting edge research.
This course will cover how preclinical and clinical research approaches can complement each other through translation and back-translation to lead to greater understanding of and improvement in treatment of mental health and psychiatric disorders.
This course will highlight the key issues that threaten the credibility of neuroscience and provide a comprehensive overview of the proposed open and reproducible science solutions - and how they can be implemented into neuroscience research (at all stages of scientific discovery).
The microbiota-gut-brain axis is emerging as an important regulator of brain and behaviour across the lifespan. This course will focus on understanding the mechanisms underlying such brain effects and how they can be exploited by nutritional means.
Hear from researchers using tools to study circuits in various regions of the rodent central nervous system, discover how these approaches are being applied in other animal models, and see how these technologies are likely to evolve in the near future.
This course will provide a general introduction to astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and microglia, from their basic features and roles to recent advances in knowledge of their functional roles.
These events are supported by the Gatsby Charitable Foundation and organised by the British Neuroscience Association
