Events

The presentations of both the invited and the internal speakers were excellent and the audience enjoyed the discussions on topics like “Mind the Gap – from the Presynapse to the Postsynapse”, “Processing of Sensory Information”, “Cognition and Computation”, “Naturalistic Behavior” or “Neurodegeneration”
The posters presented by the young scientists were also of a high standard and the jury did not have an easy task in deciding on the winners of the poster prizes.
As befits a meeting in Oberwesel, social interaction and the opportunity to identify new cooperation partners were also given during the barbecue, dancing and hiking together.

The meeting had to be postponed by one year to 2021 and could not be held on site at the Rhine even then. Nevertheless, the program committee managed to put together an extensive, exciting program, which, like most meetings this year, took place as an online event. Thus, from June 7 to 8, 2021, the members of the entire rmn² met at their screens, not only to listen to the lectures of top-class speakers on topics such as multiple sclerosis, spinal muscular atrophy, or the vascular influence on the development of glial cells, but also to follow the presentation of new members in the network and their research fields.

Just some of the topics of this year’s meeting were: covering mechanisms of pain persistence and relief; gene regulatory mechanisms in brain development and function; the neuroscience of autism spectrum disorder; synaptic plasticity and learning in neuronal networks; and neurophysiology of cognitive functions.
As with previous events, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive and we are extremely thankful to the inspirational speakers for their engaging presentations, which offered new and fascinating insights into their respective research areas.

We should also mention the high standard of the scientific posters exhibited by young scientists. They were undoubtedly impressive and an indication of the quality of science being carried out in the Rhine-Main area.

As always, social interaction was not neglected and there were ample opportunities for further discussions, networking and reconnecting.

Topics of this year’s meeting were broadly ranged, covering epilepsy research, developmental neurogenesis, coding strategies in neural networks, translational approaches to mental disorders, the dynamic connectome, and neurobiology of developmental psychiatry. State-of-the-art talks of invited speakers and an extensive poster session of young scientists again were highlights of the conference.

The relaxed atmosphere above the majestic river inspired intensive discussions and engagements for further cooperations, mainly focussing on the next phase of the German Excellence Initiative, which rmn² is applying for.

Topics of this year’s meeting were Resilience, Contextual Control of Neural Computation, Empirical Aesthetics, The Physiological Role of APP, Neural Homeostasis, Neurogenetics and Autism. More than 300 participants appreciated the talks of the invited speakers; outstanding research was presented to an extremely high standard.

The feedback from those who attended the lectures as well as the social events was overwhelmingly positive. So we are looking forward to the 4th Biennial Meeting in 2016 (June 22-24).

The main goal is to develop a common identity of neuroscientists in our region, foster collaboration amongst them, and demonstrate strong ties to the outside neuroscience communities.
