FENS Friday webinar on “Neuroanatomical tract-tracing methods: classic techniques currently going viral”

This FENS Friday webinar provided a landscape perspective overclassical and modern tools for tract-tracing purposes. The goal is to provide young trainees with the best tips, ideas and background information required for selecting the neuroanatomical tracer or the best combination for a given experimental paradigm.

FENS Friday webinar: “Blood biomarkers: a window to the brain?”

In this FENS Friday webinar were discussed the challenges presented by the blood brain barrier to CNS biomarker discovery and use, the potential of extracellular vesicles as novel markers of brain function and dysfunction, and the clinical relevance of established and novel blood biomarkers of neuropsychiatric disorders and brain injury. The limitations of the use of blood-borne CNS biomarkers both in the laboratory and the clinic and provide insights into the future development of novel biomarkers of brain health and disease were also explored.

The webinar was organised by the FENS Committee for Higher Educqtion qnd Trqining (CHET).

FENS Friday webinar: “Brains on Sleep” – recording

Have you ever wondered what our brains do while we are sleeping? Do all brains sleep the same? What makes their experiences differ from one another and what are the determining factors? Watch the new FENS Friday webinar “Brain on Sleep” and delve into the fascinating world of sleep research and its different states and functions.

FENS Friday webinar: New avenues for understanding and treating epilepsy

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.
