SUMMARY:Neuromodulation: Bridging Minds\, Machines\, and Medicine
DESCRIPTION:International Neuromodulation Society (INS) \nINS is a nonprofit group of clinicians\, scientists and engineers dedicated to the scientific development and awareness of neuromodulation – the alteration of nerve activity through the delivery of electrical stimulation or chemical agents to targeted sites of the body. Founded in 1989 and based in San Francisco\, CA\, the INS educates and promotes the field through meetings\, its MEDLINE-indexed\, peer-reviewed journal Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface\, and chapter websites. \nThe Mission of the INS is to promote and disseminate the science\, education\, practice and accessibility of all aspects of neuromodulation. This multidisciplinary society believes that all scientists\, doctors\, bioengineers\, professions allied to medicine and industry partners who have a specialist interest in neuromodulation can work with this society to share science and encourage best practice for the good of humanity. \nThe Vision of the INS is to harness all scientific\, clinical and engineering endeavour throughout the world and to brand neuromodulation to encompass all neurological technologies that through electrical or chemical means improve the function of the impaired individual. \nThe Goals of the INS are: \n\nTo create a forum for clinicians\, basic scientists and bioengineers involved with neuromodulation through a combination of scientific meetings\, journal and interactive website\nTo create a family of affiliated neuromodulation national chapters to encourage growth and influence at national level\nTo encourage research and development into the conditions treated and the devices and techniques used\nTo encourage open dialogue with industry partners and health care authorities to improve understanding of these therapies\, the needs of patients\, service requirements and fair remuneration\nTo expand the worldwide access to neuromodulation by raising awareness of the both its clinical efficacy and cost effectiveness\n\nGet details on the Congress Meeting

SUMMARY:Hot Brain 4: climate change and neurological disorders: mechanisms
DESCRIPTION:The Hot Brain 4 conference will focus on mechanisms of impacts of climate change on humans and on brain health in disease\, and how we can use an understanding of mechanisms to promote adaptation. \nThe conference is jointly organised by UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology and The Lancet Neurology. It follows on from successful meetings in 2023-2025. \nThe aims of the Hot Brain meetings are : \n\nto raise awareness about the risks of climate change for the brain in health and disease\nto consider the consequences of the impacts of climate change for neurological diseases and healthcare\nto nurture global collaborative research\, and to promote action against climate change and foster adaptation strategies.\n\nHot Brain 4 will focus on mechanisms of impacts of climate change on humans and on brain health in disease\, and how we can use an understanding of mechanisms to promote adaptation. \nRegister via Eventbrite to attend either in person or online \nIn-person venue: Kennedy Lecture Theatre\, Institute of Child Health\, 30 Guilford Street\, London\, WC1N 1EH\, United Kingdom \nConference Programme \nView the draft programme here: \n\n\nHot Brain 4 Programme.pdf\n\n\nPoster exhibition and competition \nWe invite interested researchers and practitioners\, who are intending to attend in person\, to submit a poster that reflects work you are doing around climate change and sustainability in relation to health care or health research. Please indicate your intention to submit a poster when you register on Eventbrite\, or contact the organiser (see further information below). You will need to submit an abstract for your poster or a draft poster to the organiser as a pdf document by 7 April 2026. A panel will view the posters and select 8. You will be notified by 15 April and the final version of the poster should be submitted by 27 April 2026 and will be displayed at the event on 12 May 2026. The best two posters will be awarded a certificate denoting the planting of twenty trees in the UCL Grove. \nLinks\n\nClimate change and brain health : Hot Brain 3 conference report in The Lancet Neurology\, 2025\nION news item on Hot Brain 3\, 2025\nION news item on Hot Brain 2\, 2024\nFaculty sustainability blog post on Hot Brain conference\n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Inaugural SENSE meeting
DESCRIPTION:Sensory\, motor and perceptual disturbances are common and often life-limiting consequences of brain disorders. These disturbances do not neatly adhere to medical specialities\, posing particular challenges to diagnosis and treatment. More broadly\, these brain-based disturbances offer insights regarding both vulnerability and adaptability of our sensory and motor systems. \nThis inaugural SENSE meeting will showcase research across the senses. We will introduce the sensoria: from visual and auditory\, to proprioceptive (the ‘sixth sense’) and vestibular systems (the ‘silent sense’) alongside systems relevant to eye\, gait and balance control. We will present emerging findings informing understanding of mechanisms underlying imbalance\, spatial disorientation and altered perception. We will share translation of research to improve diagnostics and treatment across scales: from individual patients\, to working across NHS eye\, movement and cognitive clinics\, UK Biobank and international initiatives. \n\nFind out more
