SUMMARY:Research Showcase - Learning\, Memory and the Ageing Brain
DESCRIPTION:How do prior knowledge and new experiences shape the way we learn. And what happens to these processes as we age or develop dementia. \nThis livestream is part of the Dementia Researcher weekly Showcase series. Each week we host a 45 minute online session bringing researchers together to share their work\, methods\, and ideas. \nIn this session\, Dr Dorothy Tse will present her research on how prior knowledge and novelty influence learning and memory formation. Her work explores how these processes are affected by ageing and dementia\, and how they relate to changes in brain function. \nDorothy develops behavioural paradigms that bridge animal and human research\, supporting translational approaches to understanding memory. Alongside this\, she works with community organisations and charities to co create projects that promote healthy ageing and brain health. \nDorothy is a Reader in Cognitive Neuroscience at Edge Hill University\, specialising in learning\, memory\, and translational neuroscience. \nAttendees can expect a research focused session with time for questions and discussion. \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Agitation in Dementia - Dr Mathias Schlögl
DESCRIPTION:In this Swiss Network for Dementia Research webinar Dr Mathias Schlögl (Chief Physician of Geriatrics at Klinik Barmelweid and Fellow at the UZH Healthy Longevity Center) will discuss the clinical challenges of agitation in dementia and behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). \nAgitation is among the most distressing and burdensome symptoms in dementia care — affecting patients\, relatives\, caregivers\, and healthcare systems alike. Yet behind agitation often lie unmet physical\, emotional\, social\, or environmental needs that remain insufficiently recognized. \nThis webinar will focus on: \n\nrecognising agitation as a clinical symptom rather than “difficult behaviour”\nidentifying unmet needs and reversible triggers\ncommunication strategies and stimulus regulation in daily practice\nnon-pharmacological interventions as first-line treatment\nthe careful and evidence-based use of psychopharmacological therapies\n\nDrawing from geriatrics\, delirium medicine\, communication science\, and clinical practice\, the session aims to provide practical and immediately applicable strategies for clinicians and healthcare professionals involved in dementia care. \nThe webinar is hosted by Dr. Tatjana Meyer-Heim (Gesundheitszentren für das Alter\, Zürich) and offers a platform for shared learning and discussion\, enabling participants to exchange insights and experiences. \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Welfare webinar: Best practice in research animal anaesthesia
DESCRIPTION:Anaesthesia in an important refinement for research animals\, playing a critical role in minimising pain\, distress and adverse physiological effects\, while also supporting high quality and reliable scientific outputs. Poorly planned or inadequately monitored anaesthesia can compromise both animal welfare and experimental outcomes\, whereas good practice can substantially refine procedures across a wide range of species and research contexts.  \nFor this two-part webinar\, we are joined by veterinary anaesthetists from the Research Animal Anaesthesia Network (RAAN) to share their expert insights exploring principles and practical approaches to improving anaesthetic practice in laboratory animal research. Through expert-led talks and real-world examples\, the sessions will consider common challenges in research animal anaesthesia\, appropriate monitoring strategies\, and the use of injectable and inhalational agents across different species. The series will also highlight the support and resources available from RAAN to researchers and animal care staff. \nTalks will cover: \n\nWhy good anaesthetic practice is a key welfare refinement and essential for robust experimental outcomes.\nPractical approaches to addressing common challenges in research animal anaesthesia.\nWhat to monitor during general anaesthesia (and why)\, with a focus on realistic and appropriate monitoring.\nAppropriate use of injectable agents in laboratory animal anaesthesia\, including when and why they are used.\nHow RAAN supports researchers and veterinarians through advice\, resources and collaborative networks.\n\n\nDr Sarah Morgan\, iRISE\, EATRIS (European Infrastructure for Translational Medicine)\, will walk participants through key practices for effective training.\n\nRegistration and certificates of attendance\n\n\nThe content will be delivered online over two lunchtime sessions. Please register for both parts. \n\nPart one:  Tuesday 16 June (12.00 –  13.00 BST).\nPart two: Thursday 25 June (12.00 – 13.00 BST).\n\n\nPlease register for the event using an institutional email address. You will need to register for part one and part two separately using the links above.

SUMMARY:Interpretable Machine Learning
DESCRIPTION:Interpretable Machine Learning: Visualization\, Sparse Models\, and Neural Networks – Online Course\nThis three-part lecture covers three pillars of interpretable machine learning: dimension reduction for data visualization\, sparse models for tabular data\, and interpretable neural networks for computer vision. These are essential topics for any researcher working in high-stakes machine learning applications—and genuinely useful ones. \nPart 1: Dimension Reduction for Data Visualization \nDimension reduction (DR) for data visualization provides unique insights into the structure of high-dimensional data. DR offers a bird’s-eye view of a dataset\, revealing clusters and their relationships\, manifolds\, branching patterns\, and even potential errors in the data. It is extremely effective for scientific discovery and hypothesis generation. We will discuss key elements of DR algorithms leading to the derivation of the PaCMAP algorithm\, with applications in bioinformatics\, name-ethnicity classification\, finance\, and neurology. \nPart 2: Sparse Models and Rashomon Sets for Tabular Data \nWhile the trend in machine learning has moved toward increasingly complex black-box models\, such models have shown no performance advantage for many real-world tabular datasets. For these datasets\, simpler models—sometimes small enough to fit on an index card—can be just as accurate and far easier to use. The challenge is that designing interpretable models is difficult due to the “interaction bottleneck\,” which arises when domain experts must work closely with machine learning algorithms. We’ll review two families of interpretable models—optimal sparse decision trees and sparse generalized additive models—and introduce the Rashomon set framework as a principled approach to managing the interaction bottleneck\, with examples from finance and criminal justice. \nPart 3: Interpretable Neural Networks for Computer Vision \nPrototype neural networks are among the most popular inherently interpretable architectures for computer vision and signal processing. These models make predictions by comparing parts of an input image to parts of prototypical images\, assigning a score to each comparison and summing those scores to form the final prediction. We will discuss the ProtoPNet algorithm and its extension\, ProtoConcept\, in which a cluster of images defines a “concept prototype\,” making comparisons richer and more informative. An application to ICU neurology is also included. \nThe lecture concludes with an application to computer-aided mammography\, in which an interpretable neural network led to a scientific discovery: subtle left-right asymmetries in mammograms can predict breast cancer up to five years in advance. Our AsymMirai algorithm was the fifth most-viewed paper in Radiology in 2024. \nSee also: \nCynthia Rudin\, Chaofan Chen\, Zhi Chen\, Haiyang Huang\, Lesia Semenova\, and Chudi Zhong. “Interpretable Machine Learning: Fundamental Principles and 10 Grand Challenges.” Statistics Surveys\, 2022. https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.11251 \nThis Distinguished Speaker Series seminar will consist of three hours of lecture and Q&A\, held live* via the free video-conferencing software Zoom. \n*The video recording of the seminar will be made available to registrants within 24 hours and will be accessible for four weeks thereafter. That means that you can watch all of the class content and discussion even if you cannot participate synchronously. \nClosed captioning is available for all live and recorded sessions. Captions can be translated to a variety of languages including Spanish\, Korean\, and Italian.

SUMMARY:Using Conditional Transgenic Models
DESCRIPTION:This course is designed for anyone working with conditional mouse models\, including the Cre-Lox system and alternative recombinase platforms such as Flp\, Dre\, and Vika. These technologies provide researchers with the ability to manipulate gene expression in a spatially and/or temporally controlled manner\, enabling precise investigation of biological processes that cannot be interrogated using traditional constitutive knockout models. \nBy allowing genes to be selectively turned on or off in specific tissues\, cell types\, or developmental stages\, conditional systems offer powerful means to dissect the roles of individual genes within complex physiological networks. Moreover\, combining multiple recombinase systems expands the experimental possibilities even further – for example\, enabling the controlled exchange of a wild type exon for a mutant variant at a defined point in time to model disease progression with exceptional precision. \nHowever\, the intricate mechanisms underlying conditional systems make them particularly vulnerable to errors and misinterpretation. \nWhile the biology behind these approaches is elegant\, in practice there are numerous pitfalls that can compromise experimental outcomes. Many of these issues are not immediately apparent from the literature on conditional models\, nor are they always obvious within an experiment unless you know what to look for. Consequently\, researchers may unknowingly draw inaccurate conclusions\, with errors that can propagate and compromise downstream studies. \nThis course aims to equip trainees with a clear understanding of how these models function biologically\, as well as the practical ways in which they can fail. We will cover how to anticipate and control for confounding effects\, how to troubleshoot unexpected results\, and how to proceed when a model does not behave as expected. \nWho is this for? \nAnyone who is using or planning to use conditional models\, that has previous knowledge of advanced mouse genetics\, including researchers\, PhD students and colony managers. \nAfter this course\, you will be able to: \n\nUnderstand the basic principles of conditional transgenesis\nUnderstand how cre expressing and floxed alleles are produced and the potential impact on the experimental outcome\nIdentify the advantages and challenges of these systems\nAnalyse recombinase (Cre) expression\nUnderstand how to establish colonies for conditional transgenesis and the importance of background strain within this\nPlan breeding schemes with consideration of control strategies and cohort numbers\n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Neuroinflammation in Health & Disease
DESCRIPTION:Neuroinflammation accompanies essentially all forms of central nervous system (CNS) insults. It can vary from acute reversable molecular changes aimed at preserving or restoring health and homeostasis\, to chronic perturbations that contribute to disease progression. \nMuch remains to be learned about the multicellular and multimolecular interactions that underlie different forms of neuroinflammation in different CNS disorders\, and how these interactions might be beneficially modulated to improve outcomes. This Keystone Symposia conference on Neuroinflammation in Health and Disease will examine how inflammation in the CNS across different contexts is manifest in healthy and diseased states. \nThe program explores multiple facets of neuroimmune pathways including genetic risk factors\, evolutionary origins and the roles of specific cell types in CNS immune response. It also includes recent insights into neuroinflammation in response to viruses\, in the context of the microbiome and aspects of autoimmunity. The speakers will present data that span cellular\, broader CNS and organismal behavioral effects of neuroinflammation. This meeting is being held jointly with another Keystone Symposia conference on Neurodegeneration: From Neurocentric to System-Wide Perspectives\, which provides a focused opportunity to explore how neuroinflammation connects with neurodegenerative disease biology. Through shared keynote and joint scientific sessions\, meals and poster sessions\, participants will have an opportunity to network and share cross-disciplinary insights\, encouraging innovative collaborations towards a deeper understanding of neurodegenerative disease and neuroimmune interactions\, and the pathways that interconnect them. \nJun 22–25\, 2026 | Fairmont Chateau Whistler\, Whistler\, BC\, Canada\nScientific Organizers: Michael V. Sofroniew\, Maria de Lourdes Gamez G Tansey\, and Robyn S Klein \n\nClick Here

SUMMARY:Research Showcase - How Amyloid & Tau Disrupt Brain Function
DESCRIPTION:How do amyloid and tau disrupt the brain’s electrical activity. And what can these changes tell us about how dementia develops. \nThis livestream is part of the Dementia Researcher weekly Showcase series. Each week we host a 45 minute online session bringing researchers together to share their work\, methods\, and ideas. \nIn this session\, Dr Soraya Meftah will present her research exploring how electrical signalling in the brain is disrupted in dementia. Her work investigates how amyloid and tau affect brain function and the molecular changes linked to these disruptions. \nSoraya studies dementia using both experimental models and a novel human brain slice culture model\, helping to bridge the gap between laboratory findings and the human brain. This work aims to better understand how disease related changes affect brain networks and neuronal communication. \nSoraya is a Race Against Dementia Research Fellow at the University of Edinburgh\, specialising in brain signalling\, neurodegeneration\, and translational approaches to dementia research. \nAttendees can expect a research focused session with time for questions and discussion. \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Research Showcase - Seizure Risk and Dementia Care
DESCRIPTION:How often are hidden neurological events missed in dementia care. And could better seizure risk assessment improve support for older adults in long term care settings. \nThis livestream is part of the Dementia Researcher weekly Showcase series. Each week we host a 45 minute online session bringing researchers together to share their work\, methods\, and ideas. \nIn this session\, Russ Barker will present work exploring the coexistence of dementia and epileptiform activity\, an important but under explored issue in geriatric neurology and long term care. His integrative literature review brings together evidence from across disciplines to identify key seizure risk domains in dementia care. \nRuss is Founder and CEO of Seagull Health\, based in Blue Springs\, Missouri. His work aims to support better recognition of hidden neurological events in ageing populations and provide a conceptual basis for developing a standardised seizure risk scoring framework for dementia care environments. \nAttendees can expect a research focused session with time for questions and discussion. \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Qualitative Data Analysis for PhD Research
DESCRIPTION:On behalf of the programme committee\, I’m pleased to welcome you to the website of the Dutch Neuroscience Meeting 2026 (DNM 26). This meeting offers an excellent opportunity to connect and share research with scientists and clinicians across various neuroscience disciplines\, including neuroendocrinology\, psychology\, neurology and psychiatry. Our rich history can be tracked using the weblinks to the past editions of our meeting. \nWe are excited to return on June 25-26\, 2026\, to the Van der Valk Hotel in Tiel. This venue offers spacious rooms for parallel sessions\, a large hall for poster presentations\, a cosy lounge area for informal discussions\, and comfortable overnight accommodations. Given the expected high number of participants\, we strongly recommend room sharing whenever possible to ensure that as many colleagues as possible can stay on-site and fully experience the meeting atmosphere—including the not-to-be-missed evening programme. \nAs always\, the scientific and social programme is designed to foster meaningful interactions between scientists from different disciplines and institutes. At the heart of the meeting are the parallel seminar sessions\, carefully selected from your proposals\, alongside three distinguished keynote speakers. We look forward to welcoming a multidisciplinary audience of researchers and students. Our goal is to create an engaging environment that advances neuroscience research while stimulating exchanges between senior and junior scientists. \nWe invite and encourage all researchers to submit an abstract for one of the two poster sessions\, open to both established and early-career scientists\, including Master’s students. \nWe hope you will explore the outstanding programme and wholeheartedly invite you and your colleagues to attend DNM 26 on June 25-26\, 2026! \nOn behalf of the Organising Committee\, \n\nReview the Programme \nRegister
