The 18th Catania International Summer School of Neuroscience CISSN (July 12-16, 2021) organized by the International Ph.D. Program of Neuroscience,
University of Catania, is focused on “RESILIENCE AND SUSCEPTIBILITY TO STRESS: A KEY TO UNDERSTANDING PSYCHIATRIC ILLNESS”.
The CISSN will offer a high level, intensive educational program carried out by an excellent international faculty to 40 Ph.D. students, postdoc fellows and residency students in genetics, pharmacology, neurology or psychiatry.
Stress is recognized as a primary environmental risk factor for stress-related psychiatric disorders. However, despite much work, a clear picture of how the physiological stress response may turn into maladaptive paths and trigger mental illness is still missing. A key goal of preclinical and clinical research is to understand the determinants of resilience and susceptibility to stress.
The CISSN-2021 will offer a wide range of presentations from cutting edge experts working on basic and translational aspects of stress and neuropsychiatric disorders. Animal models, cellular models, neuroimaging, mechanisms of gene x environment interaction, epigenetics, synaptic mechanisms, neurometabolism, comorbidity and optogenetics are some of the topics that will be covered.
Applications open, the deadline is 15th June, 2021.
To process the application, the online form on the application page must be submitted: https://eu.jotform.
Applicants can be junior scientists (PhD students and Post-Doc fellows or residency students) beginning their careers in the field of Neuroscience and Neuropsychopharmacology. Registration is limited to 40 participants. Admission to CISSN will be on a first come, first served basis.
Furthermore, 10 attendees will be selected on the basis of their CV to be awarded a €120 grant to support their participation to the School. Applicants excluded from the list of attendees of CISSN 2021 will be included in the priority list for the CISSN 2022.
