The symposium, 100 Years of Microglia tooks place as a webinar. It celebrated one century of microglial research through a series of plenary lectures on selected topics in brain physiology and pathology.

Event sponsored by the FENS Committee for Higher Education and Training (CHET).

The “Three Rs” continue to shape scientific research across the EU and beyond. In this context, the search for alternatives to animal models increasingly influences the development of research projects. At the same time, the importance of employing the correct model remains key to the reliability and utility of any results.
This event was organised by the CARE Committee at the FENS 2020 Virtual Forum.

Learn how to identify and fix common problems with figures in scientific publications with this FENS Friday webinar organised by the FENS Committee for Higher Education and Training (CHET) and the Communication Committee.

In this special event, we will hear about credibility initiatives that have the potential to increase the reproducibility, replicability, and reliability neuroscience research, which will not only benefit scientific progress in the long-run, but also address a major cause for the poor mental health of research. Organised at FENS Forum 2020 by the British Neuroscience Association and FENS Committee for Higher Education and Training (CHET).

This workshop covers the wide-ranging issues that contribute to irreproducibility. It focuses on the bias in dissemination of experimental data from the point of view of journals, funding agencies, and the general media.

Organised by the FENS Committee for Higher Education and Training (CHET).

Sedentary behavior is on the rise, resulting in an increased prevalence of preventable life-limiting diseases, including those affecting the brain. This is despite evidence showing that physical activity is one of the most important modifiable lifestyle factors that supports good brain health throughout life and improves quality of life in old age. In this webinar, speakers will discuss different mechanisms by which exercise positively influences brain health and function across the lifespan, from modulation of inflammation to regulation of adult neurogenesis.

Webinar organised by the FENS Committee for Higher Education and Training on the SfN digital platform, Neuronline.

This webinar focuses on how neural circuits underlying innate behaviours develop and how they modulate parental behaviour in adulthood.

Epilepsy is not only a common, often devastating disease but also a comorbidity of many neurological disorders, in which control of seizures may significantly improve quality of life and even prognosis. Recent years have witnessed major advancements in the identification of the mechanisms of disease that hold the promise to lead to new treatments. Organised by the FENS Committee for Higher Education and Training (CHET), this FENS Friday webinar provided an overview of these findings and of their potential implications not only for epilepsy but also for other neurological diseases.

Organised by the European Brain Council (EBC), the European Brain Research Area project (EBRA) and chaired by FENS President, Prof. Jean-Antoine Girault, this FENS Friday webinar focused on the importance of coordination and collaboration in the brain space highlighting the Shared European Brain Research Agenda (SEBRA).

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.
