FENS

🏃‍♀️ #FENS is taking on the Brussels 20K! 🧠 On 31 May 2026, FENS will join runners in Brussels to support neuroscience and the research community. Through our GoFundMe fundraiser, we are raising funds for travel grants for #FENS2026 and other FENS initiatives! 👉 Contribute here: buff.ly/NO78tUX

@bruker Bruker’s super-resolution microscopes allow quantitative, single-molecule localization and LUXENDO’s light sheet microscopes enable whole cleared brain imaging and long term organoid live imaging.

@bruker Their range of INSCOPIX miniscopes and multiphoton microscopes enable cellular resolution imaging and optical manipulations, helping neuroscientists to make clearer connections between brain function and action in their search for effective neurological treatments.

We are proud to present #FENS2026 Silver sponsor: Bruker! Learn more about @bruker at Bruker.com/FM, and visit them at the FENS Forum at Booths 128 and 130.

@Euro_Psychiatry @ESRS_Sleep 🌟 Watch the webinar to explore the connection between sleep and mental health, with insights from Laura Palagini and Vladyslav Vyazovskiy, moderated by Geert Dom and Martin Dresler.

💭 Did you miss the #FENS, #EPA and #ESRS Joint Webinar? 🧠 The recording of “Sleep as a Lifestyle Factor for Mental Health across the Lifespan” is now available! 🔗 buff.ly/VgCqdDc @Euro_Psychiatry @ESRS_Sleep

@EJNeuroscience 💡 This commentary highlights how neuron–astrocyte interactions reshape our understanding of memory maintenance and can suggest new translational approaches for fear-related disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder.

📚 New commentary from @EJNeuroscience! 🔬 Jiahui Chen discusses recent work by Dewa et al. showing that astrocytes recruited during fear recall help stabilise memory traces through noradrenergic signalling pathways. 🔗 buff.ly/vUIZZYJ

@network_alba @ElsevierConnect @unsamoficial @bic_mni 🔸 Her research explores motor learning and brain plasticity, focusing on key aspects of skill acquisition and stabilisation. Using MRI and EEG, they investigate the mechanisms that support memory formation during wakefulness and sleep.

@network_alba @ElsevierConnect 🔬 Valeria Della-Maggiore is a Principal Investigator at CONICET, Associate Professor at the School of Science and Technology at @unsamoficial, and Adjunct Professor at the @bic_mni.
