Mechanisms of Post-Ischemic Brain Adaptation |
The webinar discusses mechanisms involved in post-ischemic brain adaptation. The knowledge of these mechanisms may provide information to bring light on those molecular pathways involved in brain protection. Organised by the FENS Committee for Higher Education and Training under the signed agreement with the Neuroscience Training Committee of SfN; webinar available on Neuronline, the SfN online platform.

Mental Health in Academia – Status-quo and Practical Implications for Early Career Researchers’ Wellbeing – Corpus Curiosum (Series IV) |
Talk by Katharina Bögl & Sandra Naumann, Scholar Minds
Although many academics love their research and experience fulfilment from various tasks of their profession, mounting evidence suggests that working in academia might contribute to mental health problems. We at Scholar Minds, a group of early-career researchers (ECRs) of Berlin’s universities and research institutions, strive to ensure the mental health of Berlin’s early career researchers by improving the status-quo on an individual and institutional level. Based on our Scholar Minds surveys, we will first provide an overview of ECRs’ current mental health status. Secondly, we want to unravel unhelpful thoughts and habits which ultimately impact ECRs’ mental health and show how to build helpful habits to overcome challenging times.
The Corpus Curiosum series was produced with the support of FENS Committee for Higher Education and Training (CHET)

Non-coding RNAs in Nervous System Function and Disease |
Thousands of non-coding (nc)RNAs have been identified with functions in processes, such as translation regulation and RNA processing. Different classes of ncRNAs exist, including microRNAs, circRNAs and tRNAs, some of which are enriched in the nervous system and neural cells. This webinar discusses some of the functions of these ncRNAs in the developing and adult brain and highlights how their deregulation contributes to brain trauma and disease. Webinar organised by the FENS Committee for Higher Education and Training (CHET) on the SfN digital platform, Neuronline.

Oxford Sparks: You’ve Got a Nerve |
Most of us take movement and balance for granted, and it’s only when something goes wrong that we realise how complicated it is. In the early 1900s, an Oxford researcher called Charles Sherrington examined microscope slides of muscles, nerves, the spine and the brain and traced the connections between them. Using this box of slides, he built up a picture of how muscles are controlled. Some diseases can damage nerve cells and affect muscle control. Researchers today still use the basic principles established by Sherrington to investigate how to fix these problems.

Psychedelics, the Clinical versus the Neuroscientist’s point of view |
The first FENS-EPA webinar aims to understand the present indications of psychedelics, and compare their chances of success (effect-size) in the different indications.
The overall environment where patients receive psychedelics is allegedly extremely important, with many possibilities of personalisation: music, paintings, low intensity lights, or the presence of a psychotherapist during the session.
Beyond anecdotal experiences, the science behind such proposals and the level of medical evidence supporting these aspects are relatively weak and need more clear descriptions.
Psychedelics have now been tested (usually successfully) in a broad spectrum of psychiatric disorders such as major depressive disorder and resistant depression, anorexia nervosa, OCD, PTSD or alcohol use disorder. This makes it difficult to understand what the real psychiatric target of these drugs is.
