Call for Abstracts: Accelerating Translational Neurotechnology: Fourth Annual Aspen Brain Forum

September 18 - 20, 2013 Aspen Meadows Resort

Presented by The Aspen Brain Forum Foundation, Science Translational Medicine, and the New York Academy of Sciences

Neurotechnology encompasses electrical, chemical, and medical devices and products that can interact with or intervene in the activity of the central nervous system. These technologies include neuroprosthetics, neuroengineering, neuroimaging, optogenetics, neuromodulation, and neural stem cell therapies. Translating neurotechnologies from the laboratory into clinical and commercial products has been an arduous process. Yet many of these new tools show great potential to revolutionize the treatment of neurological diseases and disorders including depression, pain, headache, epilepsy, neuromuscular disease, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and traumatic brain injury.

Through a series of plenary sessions, panel discussions, and interactive breakout groups, this 2.5-day international conference shall explore innovative scientific, clinical, and organizational models for advancing the translation of neuroscience research into technology that can dramatically improve diagnosis and treatment of neurological and psychiatric disease. Participants will also examine the ethical and regulatory challenges in translating neuroscience research, and the potential economic impact of their clinical application.

This conference includes a breakout session. During registration, you will be asked to choose a work group based on your area/disease of interest. Please pick your first and second choices for this session. You may also write in an alternate topic. We will create additional groups if there is sufficient interest. Registrants will receive an email with work group details several weeks prior to the conference.

Choices include: Parkinson's Disease, Major Depression and other Mood Disorders, Chronic Pain, Alzheimer's Disease, or Traumatic Brain Injury.

Call for Abstracts

The deadline for abstract submission is Monday, July 1, 2013. For complete abstract instructions, please send an e-mail to neurotech@nyas.org with "Abstract Information" in the subject line. There is no need to type a message; instructions will be forwarded automatically. Select abstracts will be chosen to participate as short oral presentations for Session 6: Cutting-Edge Innovations in Neurotechnology. Please call 212.298.8632 with any questions.

Call for Papers: 1st Annual International Conference on Neuroscience and Neurobiology Research (CNN 2013)

November 18-19, 2013 Bangkok, Thailand

Full Paper Submission Deadline: 19th July 2013

Neuroscience is the study of the nervous system development, its structure, and its purpose. It also discusses what occurs when individuals have neurological, psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders. Traditionally a branch of Biology, it is now considered an interdisciplinary science which includes other fields such as mathematics, linguistics, engineering, computer science, chemistry, philosophy, psychology, and medicine. On the other hand, neurobiology is a complex science referring specifically to the biology of the nervous system.

The Annual International Conference on Neuroscience and Neurobiology Research (CNN) aims to explore the study of the nervous system and the different aspects of the nervous system. Through networking and sharing, CNN will provide an opportunity for practitioners and educators to exchange research evidence, models of best practice and innovative ideas on neuroscience and neurobiology.

CNN has broad base topics with the aim to bring together academics from a wide range of disciplines:

• Neuroscience

◦ Systems Neuroscience

◦ Cognitive Neuroscience

◦ Decision Neuroscience

◦ Behavioral Neuroscience

◦ Molecular Neuroscience

◦ Theoretical Neuroscience

◦ Computational Neuroscience and Novel Research

• Neurobiology

◦ Neurobiology of Aging

◦ Molecular Neurobiology

◦ Cellular Neurobiology
