Neuroscience Conference Series
The Neuroscience Conference Series(NCS), organised by the Institute of Neurosciences, is a great opportunity to meet international distinguished neuroscientists, who will present the latest advancements in their respective field of research. We keep updating this section regularly and adding more talks, so stay tuned!
Next conferences
Seeing by Moving: The Inseparable Link Between Perception and Action
May 12, 2025
This talk explores how the human visual system constructs spatial representations. Unlike other sensory modalities, where spatial information must be inferred from incoming signals, vision begins with a sophisticated imaging… Read More from Seeing by Moving: The Inseparable Link Between Perception and Action

The Body is Along for the Ride: The power and considerations of embodiment in constructing extended reality stories.
April 10, 2025
Nonny de la Peña, PhD, will discuss some the key considerations about the experience of the body in constructing extended reality stories including the embodied edit, duality of presence and… Read More from The Body is Along for the Ride: The power and considerations of embodiment in constructing extended reality stories.

Competition Between Predictive Processes and Prefrontal Cortex Functions: From Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation to Local Sleep
April 2, 2025
Human learning and predictive processing rely on multiple cognitive systems associated with distinct brain structures. These systems do not always cooperate; they sometimes compete to optimize performance. Research suggests that… Read More from Competition Between Predictive Processes and Prefrontal Cortex Functions: From Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation to Local Sleep

Ion channels and pain circuits: from ASICs to the Anterior Cingulate Cortex
April 2, 2025
Prof Séguéla (McGill University and Neurasic Therapeutics) will present a first in class selective blocker of ASICs (acid sending ion channels) as a novel non invasive therapeutic option for the… Read More from Ion channels and pain circuits: from ASICs to the Anterior Cingulate Cortex

Regional associations between sleep architecture and Alzheimer’s disease pathology
March 27, 2025
Recent evidence suggests that disturbances in sleep architecture, in particular decreases in slow wave sleep, are linked to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology. In this talk, Merle Hoenig will present her recent findings… Read More from Regional associations between sleep architecture and Alzheimer’s disease pathology

The Paradox of Effort in the Era of GenAI: Is Less More?
March 14, 2025
The Paradox of Effort in the Era of GenAI: Is Less More? We often seek ways to reduce effort in our lives as it can be costly; given a choice,… Read More from The Paradox of Effort in the Era of GenAI: Is Less More?

Individual Differences in Human Memory are Associated with individual’s Gut Microbiota Composition
February 18, 2025
Variability is a defining feature of all biological systems. In the realm of cognition, individual differences in how we process threats and recall events can place us on a spectrum… Read More from Individual Differences in Human Memory are Associated with individual’s Gut Microbiota Composition

The Role of Extracellular Vesicles in Alzheimer’s disease: from pathophysiology to Aβ aggregation
January 9, 2025
The discovery of new strategies and targets that foster natural response mechanisms in sporadic Alzheimer’s disease (sAD) might open the door to new non-invasive therapies. In this project, we hypothesized… Read More from The Role of Extracellular Vesicles in Alzheimer’s disease: from pathophysiology to Aβ aggregation

From coincidence to causation: How does contingency learning lead to biased beliefs?
December 17, 2024
Cultural and technological shifts over the last 20 years have radically changed the information landscape that most of us face every day. When it comes to making health and lifestyle… Read More from From coincidence to causation: How does contingency learning lead to biased beliefs?
