  • August 25 (Mon)
    10:35-12:30
    Educational S01. Optical techniques in neuroscience
    Rm.104-106
  • In this workshop, we aim to introduce cutting-edge optical methods in neuroscience, including neural manipulation and recording techniques. For stimulation, we will focus on two-photon holographic optogenetics and patterned stimulation. For imaging, we will focus on endoscopes (miniscopes). Expert users will introduce each technique and provide practical tips. The goal of this workshop is twofold; first, to disseminate hands-on knowledge, and second, to build a community of users who can continue to share knowledge and resources in the future.

    Educational S02. History of neuroscience
    Premier Ballroom C
  • This workshop aims to introduce the history of neuroscience in each speaker's country. The 30-minute lecture of each speaker will focus on the overall history of neuroscience in China, Japan, Korea, US, and Europe, along with insights into past, current, and future visions for collaborative research with other countries. The lectures will highlight national and international perspectives, provide valuable insights into the development of neuroscience, and foster deeper discussions among attendees.

    Educational S03. Miniature brain models: from generation to application in studying brain development and function
    Rm.104-106
  • This workshop will focus on brain organoids and brain-on-a-chip systems, often referred to as "miniature brains" derived from pluripotent stem cells such as iPSCs and ESCs. Leading experts in the field will deliver lectures covering both the basic principles and the latest research developments. The workshop will introduce current techniques for generating these models and highlight how they are being used to investigate human brain development and neural function.
