Subject: Proposal for a scientific colloquium entitled “Novel approaches to study
neuronal signal integration, computation and transduction”.
We are three young investigators supported by INSERM and working at the
Institut du Fer à Moulin (INSERM/UPMC) and the Ecole des Neurosciences de Paris.
With this letter, we are delighted to present you a proposal for a one-day scientific
colloquium that we plan to organize in Paris on October 10th 2014. This event aims to
cover the most recent advances and tool development for understanding the processes
governing synaptic integration in complex neuronal circuits and how they affect
specific behaviors.
We have assembled a line-up of internationally recognized speakers at the
forefront of their respective fields covering synaptic and dendritic integration in
neural circuits during development and adulthood, both in simple models and in the
intact brain during animal behaviors. They have all agreed to participate to the
colloquium. Given the outstanding list of speakers we wish to give to all students and
postdoctoral fellows the opportunity to attend this event. To this end, the policy of the
IFM colloquium includes free registration, which facilitates the involvement of young
scientists in their early career. We believe that this proposal has the potential to
represent a key event for the Neuroscience community in the Ile de France.
We hope that you will share our excitement and provide us with the support
necessary to make this event a scientific breakthrough.
Best regards,
Nicolas Gervasi, Corentin Le Magueresse and Manuel Mameli
5th IFM Colloquium
Novel approaches to study neuronal signal integration, computation and
transduction
– Friday October 10th 2014 –
Communication among interconnected neurons creates functional neural circuits and
underlies nearly every aspect of nervous system function. Recent advances in
molecular, electrophysiological, in vivo imaging techniques, as wells as circuit
interrogation in behaving animals have led to a rapid enhancement in our
understanding of the mechanisms that causally link structure, function and
connectivity to animal behavior. It has become increasingly clear that such
multifaceted approaches have further demonstrated the extent to which neuronal
structure and function may undergo plastic changes that contribute to development,
learning and diseases.
The 5th IFM colloquium aims to explore the integration, computational and
signal transduction properties in neural circuits, and causally linked them to animal
behavior. Two sessions will examine the recent technological advances in a wide
range of topics spanning from synaptic integration, and transduction mechanisms
implicated in the plasticity of synaptic signaling, to the probing of neural circuits
during sensory modalities, action and development. This single day event will tie
together a diversity of investigators who are at the forefront of their field making use
of multidisciplinary approach and cutting-edge techniques. In addition, two
outstanding scientists, whose work on the function of cortical activity and the role of
individual neurons in complex ensembles provide major scientific breakthroughs, will
be giving keynote lectures. An exciting aspect of this meeting is its highly
international nature bringing together European and American experts in different
areas, and fostering future developments by promoting interaction between
investigators. In the spirit of the IFM colloquium, the meeting will be highly
interactive. Concise cutting-edge presentations will be followed by intense discussion
both during the sessions and ensuing free time.

● Institutional support and potential audience
The 2014 Institut du Fer a Moulin (IFM) colloquium follows a successful yearly
series started in 2010. Past editions covered topics spanning from cortical
development, synaptic circuits on health and disease, neuropsychiatric disorders, and
connectomics. All editions resulted in a large attendance making this an attractive
scientific event in the Paris area for french and foreign scientists. The IFM directed by
Jean-Antoine Girault is a research center affiliated to INSERM and University Pierre
and Marie Curie (UPMC) devoted to the study of the development and plasticity of
the nervous system. The IFM is constituted by 10 research group representing around
100 scientists. It gives an opportunity to young investigators to organize scientific
events of a great scientific impact in the “Ile de France” region providing dynamism,
support and experience necessary to realize such events.
Research in basic neuroscience in “Ile de France” spans from channel function, to
pathophysiology of neural networks and cellular basis of behavior, in more than a
hundred laboratories. In addition many clinical neuroscience groups have
complementary interests. Considering that synaptic basis of disease and dissecting
neural circuits are two hot-topics in the neuroscience field, our symposium sounds
very attractive for basic and clinical neuroscientists coming from Paris regions and
other areas. Free open access to the event will be facilitating the participation of
students and scientists of all levels. Based on the past events we expect about 150-200
participants.
