In the April edition of President’s Corner, EAN President, Elena Moro responds directly to our community on key topics—from late‑breaking abstracts at the EAN Congress to highlights from the European Brain Health Summit in Brussels.
🔗 Read the latest President’s Corner:
Loved this spotlight from Network Glia on senescent microglia and remyelination failure in ageing/MS. Highly recommended read for glia and myelin nerds.
The PhD life: navigating the space between molecular biology, neural networks, and the code that brings it all together. 💻🧬
We’re bringing the neuroscience community together to talk about it all. See you at ENCODS 2026!

Have you ever considered the concept of the 🧠 being resilient❓Are there mechanisms, cell types, signaling pathways which you found protective, e.g., in #epilepsy and its comorbidities? Or does that concept not resonate with you? Join the discussion 😁 #WONOEP2025. Submit your abstract before Feb 25 👇🏻

Episode #24 in #TheoreticalNeurosciencePodcast: On neuroscience foundation models - with Andreas Tolias

The Tolias lab is building generally applicable “foundation models” for optophysiological responses in mouse visual cortex.
Deadline extend to 19th January!
Quote by Cecilia: Do not undertake a scientific career in quest of fame or money. There are easier and better ways to reach them. Undertake it only if nothing else will satisfy you; for nothing else is probably what you will receive. Your reward will be the widening of the horizon as you climb. And if you achieve that reward you will ask no other.
So you want to be a scientist? Advice to the young from pioneering astrophysicist Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin, who discovered that stars were made primarily of hydrogen, illuminating for the first time the chemical composition of the cosmos. 🧪
