MCN introduces students to the computational and mathematical techniques that are used to address how the brain solves problems at levels of neural organization ranging from single membrane channels to operations of the entire brain. This course is appropriate for graduate students, postdocs and faculty in a variety of fields, from zoology, ethology, and neurobiology, to physics, engineering, and mathematics. Students are expected to have a strong background in one discipline, and to have made some effort to introduce themselves to a complementary discipline. Application due date: Mar 31, 2023

Understanding the links between activity in neural circuits and behavior is a fundamental problem in neuroscience. Attacking this problem requires detailed information about the cell types in neural circuits and their connectivity, and recording the spatiotemporal patterns of activity in the intact brain during behaviour. This course will highlight the new anatomical, genetic, optical, electrophysiological, optogenetic, and pharmacogenetic approaches that are available for addressing these challenges. The faculty will discuss tool development through to their implementation in diverse model systems, including mice and zebrafish. Students will learn the potential and limitations of these techniques, allowing them to both design and interpret experiments correctly. Application deadline: January 10, 2023

Mechanisms that Underlie Flexible Neural Coding
This conference will focus on how brains adjust information processing and optimize behaviors in response to ever-changing environmental demands. This astonishing flexibility relies on the modulation of brain functions in multifarious ways that can change neural excitability, synaptic communication and neural circuit output. The modulation of brain functions regulates basic biological states such as feeding, sleep or sex, and is of key importance for cognitive brain functions such as attention and learning. Mechanistic insights into neuromodulation are not only critical to understand the neural basis of intelligence and behavior but also to understand brain dysfunctions underlying disease. The 2023 GRC conference on “Modulation of Neural Circuits and Behavior” will bring together scientists with diverse backgrounds to discuss current concepts and exciting new results in this broad field. Applications for this meeting must be submitted by April 23, 2023.

The IBRO-Simons Computational Neuroscience Imbizo, or isiCNI is an opportunity for African and international students to learn about cutting edge research techniques in computational neuroscience. The format of the school will be a combination of intensive lectures on advanced topics in computational and theoretical neuroscience as well as practical exercises in simulation and data analysis. In addition, students will perform a mini-research project under the supervision of one of the school tutors, to be presented at the end of the school. Application deadline: Thursday 20 Oct 2022

CaImAn is an open-source software platform that provides optimized and scalable routines to process imaging data with the goal of extracting the activity of each neuron. CaImAn handles multiple imaging modalities (voltage, calcium, endoscopic, multiphoton, volumetric) and analysis settings (batch/offline vs online/real-time). Mesmerize is a new organizational and visualization framework that allows for efficient and streamlined analysis using CaImAn algorithms, and enables users with minimal programming experience to use CaImAn effectively. CaImAn is very popular among neuroscientists world-wide, but its widespread dissemination, the efficient use of its routines, and the opportunities provided by Mesmerize, require access to training opportunities. We will address this challenge by establishing a workshop at the Flatiron Institute, Simons Foundation. Application deadline: November 6, 2022.

Neuromatch Academy teaches computational techniques crucial for success in academia and industry. It serves thousands of students each year with hundreds of teaching assistants. Students learn by solving problems in small groups and by running group projects; they learn in many languages in an incredibly supportive environment. We run a Computational Neuroscience and a Deep Learning course, which will happen in parallel for 3 weeks. Student and TA applications accepted March 28th to April 20th.
