8th FENS Forum of Neuroscience

The FENS Forum is a biennial neuroscience conference organised by FENS. With nearly 7000 participants, it has become the largest neuroscience meeting in Europe.
With plenary and special lectures, technical workshops and symposia, and a wealth of poster communications, it is a must for neuroscientists from all over the world.
Don’t miss the FENS Forum 2012 in [...]

Effects of physical exercise in cerebrovascular mechanisms of adaptation to altitude

Microvascular environment plays a fundamental role in the adaptive response to increases in activity, involving an increase in energy demand. To puntual increases in demand, the response is effected by changes in local flow, but if demand remains high, angiogenic process is triggered through the formation of new capillaries from preexisting vessels. The trigger factor [...]

XIVth Congress of the Spanish Society for Neuroscience (SENC). Salamanca, 28-30 September 2011

The XIVth Congress of the Spanish Society for Neuroscience (SENC) inaugurates a new phase in our Society. After 25 years of operation, the scientific responsibility of the Congress depends on the Program Committee and the responsibility of the organization rests with the Board. The intended purpose of these initiatives is to provide the [...]

Combination of intracortical angioglioneurin administration and environmental enrichment enhances brain protection in developing rats

Postnatal development of the visual cortex is modulated by experience, especially during the critical period. In rats, a stable neuronal population is only acquired after this relatively prolonged period. The term angioneurins have recently been proposed to name molecules with neuroprotective,neurogenic, neurotrophic and angiogenic effects. They induce a variety of [...]

Physical exercise increases acute adaptive angiogenic response to moderate altitude

The adaptive response of the microvascular environment is crucial meeting the requirements of the increased activity. Increases in blood demand are followed by modifications of local flow, but, if demands persist, the supply is ensured by angiogenesis inducing the formation of new capillaries from pre-existing vessels. The triggering element that starts angiogenesis is the local [...]

Annual Meeting of the Swiss Society for Neuroscience

The annual meeting is one of the most important activities of the Swiss Society for Neuroscience. The meeting is open for members and non-members and is a platform for scientific interaction of people interested in Neuroscience. Most often the SSN annual meeting is a Joint Meeting with a Clinical Society. The focus of the meeting [...]

BRAIN EDEMA 2011, The XVth International Symposium of Brain Edema and Cellular Injury

Welcome Message

Dear Colleagues,

It is our great honor to host BRAIN EDEMA 2011, The XVth International Symposium of Brain Edema and Cellular Injury, in Tokyo, Japan on October 22-24, 2011. On behalf of the International Advisory Board, we would like to extend a warm welcome all international clinicians and scientists from [...]

XXVth International Symposium on Cerebral Blood Flow, Metabolism and Function

The meeting will cover several aspects within the area of neuroscience research, particularly those related to brain function and metabolism, cerebral blood flow, the function of the neurovascular unit and the blood-brain barrier, brain imaging, and cerebrovascular pathology. The aim is to present the state-of-the art and novel discoveries that [...]

Synergic effects of VEGF infusion and environmental enrichment during the critical period of rat visual cortex

Postnatal development of the visual cortex is modulated by experience especially during the critical period. In rats, this period is relatively prolonged before acquiring stable neuronal population. VEGF is the major angiogenic factor having also strong neuroprotective, neurotrophic and neurogenic properties. Similar effects have been described
for enriched environment. Our aim was to investigate the vascular [...]
