Plasticity and the Aging Brain

More information to come. The meeting will be held both virtually and in-person in Madison, WI.

Join the National Institute of Aging for their 28th Annual Summer Training Course in Experimental Aging Research. The course, aimed at junior faculty and advanced fellows, provides intense exposure to current concepts in experimental aging research.

This 3-week course will cover the fundamentals of cognitive aging -including inter-individual differences, cognitive and brain reserve and risk factors- and highlight the newest functional imaging methods to study human brain function. The Faculty will share the state-of-the-art molecular, optical, computational, electrophysiological, behavioral and epidemiological approaches available for studying the aging brain in diverse model systems. Application deadline: 31 May 2021

The biennial Cognitive Aging Conference is the premier conference for presentation of research about aging and cognition based on experimental cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience of aging, human factors and ergonomics, and longitudinal studies of age-related cognitive change, its correlates, and determinants.

The next Cognitive Aging Conference will be held in Atlanta, Georgia in Spring 2022. See the Conference Description page for more information.

The 2022 C. elegans “Topics” Meeting “Metabolism, Aging, Pathogenesis, and Stress” (MAPS 2022), on campus at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Memorial Union will host researchers studying fundamental questions regarding increasing health-span and reducing aging-associated decline.

Due to the continued uncertainty caused by COVID-19 we regret that we have decided to cancel the 2020 meeting. We look forward to being able to host the meeting July 14 – 17, 2022 in Madison, Wisconsin, SAVE THE DATE!

While the biology of aging is still a relatively new field, this GRC has become the premier forum for unpublished data presentation and discussions, resulting in a meeting where one can view exciting current science and also see the future directions of the field. Applications for this meeting must be submitted by June 6, 2021.
