IFM Colloquium 2024 “Signals and Circuit for Motivation and Movement”
The 2024 IFM Colloquium is organized in honor of the career of Jean-Antoine Girault and willfeature 12 keynote speakers. They will address different aspects of neurotransmission and signaling in striatal circuits underlying motivation and movement, both in physiological conditions and in disorders, for example those affecting dopaminergic signaling (including Parkinson’s disease, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and drug […]
Junior Professorship in Neurogenomics/Neurogenetics
A Junior Professorship in Neurogenomics/Neurogenetics is open at the Sorbonne University in association with the Institut du Fer à Moulin. This professorship is intended to strengthen the expertise of the IFM and the IBPS in neurogenetics/genomics applied to neuroscience and in particular to neurodevelopment. The successful candidate will participate in the Neuroscience course of the […]
