Meeting & Conference of the International Society for Developmental Neuroscience

About this event

The Meeting & Conference of the International Society for Developmental Neuroscience (ISDN 2027) will take place at the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research in Bengaluru, India. This prestigious event will feature a rich program that includes plenary talks and invited speakers, showcasing the latest international research through selected talks and posters based on submitted abstracts. The conference aims to foster a collaborative atmosphere where attendees can engage in networking during two receptions alongside the poster sessions and at the gala dinner.Renowned speakers will present cutting-edge research on how environmental influences shape the developing social brain. This session will delve into the formation and function of neural networks that underlie social behavior, integrating findings from various model organisms. Notable speakers include Dietrich, Valery Matarazzo, Maya Opendak, and Amrutha Swaminathan, alongside distinguished guests such as Goichi Miyoshi from Gunma University, Japan, and Marcelo O. from Johns Hopkins University. Their collective work promises to reveal key principles governing social brain network development. Additionally, the symposium will cover diverse model systems ranging from Drosophila to humans, linking gene regulation and circuit connectivity to unveil principles of brain maturation.Another session will focus on the evolution of motor circuits across vertebrate species, integrating molecular mechanisms, circuit organization, and behavior. This interdisciplinary gathering will highlight recent discoveries in areas that remain among the least understood in neuroscience, emphasizing how neuronal architecture affects information processing and behavior. The event is particularly aimed at postdoctoral fellows and graduate students, with prizes awarded for the best posters presented by trainees.The ISDN community is excited to welcome participants to Bengaluru, a city known for its rich research environment.
