SpeakersSymposium 1 - From the molecule to pathologyAmparo Acker-Palmer is Professor from the Cluster of Excellence, "Macromolecular Complexes" and Chair of the Molecular and Cellular Neurobiology Department, Institute of Cell Biology and Neuroscience at Frankfurt University. The major focus of Acker-Palmer's laboratory is to understand the signaling cascades initiated by Eph receptor and its ligands during the development and plasticity of the nervous and the vascular systems. Michael T Heneka is a Professor in Neurology. Previously at Munster university, he joined a couple years ago the Neurological Clinic of the University of Bonn. He is the head of the
Clinical Neuroscience Unit, a neuroscience laboratory in the Department of
Neurology at the University of Bonn.The focus of his work are the molecular
mechanisms of neurodegeneration and its translation into clinical application. Luc Zimmer, CRNL/BIORAN - see the team web page Claire Meissirel, CRNL/ONCOFLAM - see the team web page Patrick Edery, CRNL/TIGER - see the team web page Symposium 2 - Sleep and altered states of consciousnessBarbara Jones is Professor of Neurology and Neurosurgery, Coordinator of the research unit "Complex Neural Systems", Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital, McGill University Health Centre, Montreal, Quebec She seeks to understand how the brain generates states of waking and sleep. One major facet of her research program is investigating the way in which cholinergic neurons in the brain stem and basal forebrain stimulate cortical activation with theta and gamma electroencephalographic (EEG) activity during waking and paradoxical sleep and participate in processes of attention and memory.. Pr. Steven Laureys leads the Coma Science Group at the Cyclotron Research Center and Department of Neurology, Sart Tilman Liège University Hospital. He studies residual brain function in coma, vegetative, minimally
conscious and locked-in syndromes, with the aim to improve
the medical care and understanding of disorders of consciousness in these
patients.
Pierre-Hervé Luppi, CRNL/SLEEP - see the team web page Jian-Sheng Lin, CRNL/WAKING - see the team web page Dominique Morlet, CRNL/DYCOG - see the team web page Symposium 3 - Perception, memory, attention, cognitionPr. Dr Pascal Fries is Director of the Max Planck Institute for Neurobiology, Martinsried, and Director of the Ernst Strüngmann Institute in Cooperation with Max Planck Society, Frankfurt. His current
research concerns neuronal synchronization´s mechanisms, its consequences and
its cognitive functions, with the hypothesis that, if neuronal synchronization
affects neuronal processing, evolution has probably selected functional
synchronization and mechanisms for its adaptive modulation.
Pr Kia Nobre is Director of the Brain & Cognition Lab at the Dept of Experimental Psychology, University of Oxford. Her
current work investigates the dynamic regulation of human perception, action
and memory by changing predictions, task goals and motivation -- “attentional
orienting”. Her particular interests are the interplay between attention and
memory, the role of temporal expectations and synchronisation in modulating
perception, and the integration of predictive signals to guide perception and
decision-making. Methodological approaches: simultaneous EEG/TMS and EEG/fMRI,
MEG, eye-tracking.
Anne Didier, CRNL/NEUROPOP - see the team web page Jean-Philippe Lachaux, CRNL/DYCOG - see the team web page Jane Plailly, CRNL/CMO - see the team web page Barbara Tillmann, CRNL/CAP - see the team web page Symposium 4 - Neural plasticity and new therapeutic approachesPr Walter Paulus is Head of the Department of Clinical Neurophysiology at the University of Göttingen. His
main focus of research is the induction of neuroplastic changes in the human
brain, defined as any enduring changes in the organisation of the central
nervous system such as the strength of connections, representational patterns,
or neuronal properties, either morphological or functional. Walter Paulus uses
transcranial magnetic and electric stimulatin (rTMS, tDCS) to induce and
control plasticity in the human nervous system, and to derive new therapeutic
strategies from this research.
Pr Niels Birbaumer is Chair of the Institute of Medical Psychology and Behavioral Neurobiology, University of Tübingen (G). He is one of the pioneers in the development and application of Brain
Computer Interface and neurofeedback training using EEG, MEG and fMRI.
