*Odd* Symposia will be held at Aula Magna Pabellón 1 & *Even* Symposia at Aula Magna Pabellón 2.
S1 – NeuroTour 2024: A Federal Outlook of Neuroscience in Argentina
Friday 25th 10:00 AM – According to the information surveyed by the SAN in 2021, three districts in Argentina concentrate 90% of researchers in the area of Neuroscience: 61% are based in the city of Buenos Aires and 15% and 14% in the provinces of Córdoba and Buenos Aires, respectively. In this context, and within the framework of the recently created Federalization Commission of the SAN
S2 – The role of epigenetic mechanisms in typical and stressed developmental trajectories
Friday 25 th 10AM – The symposium will focus on the intricate ways in which neural development is influenced by various factors, including epigenetic mechanisms related to early life adversities and sex-specific differences. The research presented will highlight the importance of intercellular communication in proper trigeminal ganglion formation, with a particular emphasis on the role of microRNA-203 and neural crest-placode interactions….
S3 – From evolution and development to regeneration of the central nervous system
Friday 25 th 15:30PM – This session will delve into the cellular and molecular mechanisms that drive the development and regeneration of the central nervous system (CNS), as well as the impact they had during the evolution of homologous regions of the vertebrate CNS. We will discuss the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in: conservation of homologies or generation of evolutionary novelties in the hypothalamic…
S4 – The Intricate Relationship between Stressful Events and Memory Processes: Exploring Modulatory Complexity
Friday 25 th 15:30PM – Numerous studies have indicated that stressful events, emotional arousal, and stress-related hormones can enhance memory consolidation. However, they can also have adverse effects on memory retrieval. Despite abundant empirical evidence identifying a variety of factors modulating different stages of memory, we still face significant challenges in understanding the general rules governing how living organisms manage these modulatory elements
S5 – Unleashing the Potential of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells in Neuroscience Research
Saturday 26 th 10:30AM – The discovery and application of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have revolutionized the field of neuroscience research. iPSCs, derived from adult human cells, possess the remarkable ability to differentiate into various cell types, including neurons. This symposium aims to explore the profound impact of iPSCs in understanding the physiology and pathophysiology of the human brain.
S6 – Neural activity and behavior in vertebrates: the spark that moves us
Saturday 26 th 10:30AM – The study of neural electrical activity is a powerful tool in our attempt to understand the brain circuits involved in a certain behavior. It is within these neural circuits that the essence of behavior is encoded, where thoughts are formed, decisions are made, and actions are executed. By deciphering how neural activity encodes information and the areas involved,…
S7 – Neuropeptides: from molecules to behavior
Sunday 27 th 10:30AM -This symposium aims to discuss the different neuropeptides system’s recent molecular and behavioral regulations. It will explore the peptide’s role under several physiological, pathophysiological, and programming conditions and the central and peripheral effects of those neuropeptides, and the sex differences. The speakers will present data acquired using state-of-art techniques, such as electrophysiological and blood pressure recordings, microdialysis, real-time PCR…

S8 – Neural Computations in the Brain: Bridging Theory and Experiments
Sunday 27 th 10:30AM – Understanding the mechanisms employed by the brain to acquire, process and store information is a complex task which benefits from an interdisciplinary approach, combining empirical knowledge and expertise from the biological sciences with analytic and modeling tools commonly employed in the exact sciences. This includes tools from dynamical systems, signal processing, machine learning, and probabilistic modeling among others…
