[[Download Flyer|KioloaFlyer2008.pdf]]\n\nDear Colleagues\n \nIt is our pleasure to invite you and the members of your lab to the Annual\nKioloa Neuroscience Colloquium, which will be held from 12-13 April, 2008,\nat the ANU Kioloa Coastal Campus, NSW.\n \nThis time around we have made some changes that we hope will reinvigorate\nthe meeting and reinstate it as an important event on the local academic\ncalendar. Over recent years the meeting has become geared more towards\nstudent and postdoc presentations. While we believe this is important, and\nwe are committed to maintaining a relaxed environment for junior scientists\nto present their work, we would like to redress the balance somewhat and\nprovide a programme that is also attractive and stimulating for Group\nLeaders.\n \nTo this end, this year we are introducing the following changes:\n1) Plenary Lectures by leading Australian Neuroscientists to open and close\nthe meeting. This year the Plenary Lectures will be given by Prof. Pankaj\nSah of the Queensland Brain Institute and Prof. Vaughan Macefield of the\nUniversity of Western Sydney.\n2) Group Leaders are encouraged to give an oral presentation. Talks will\nbe 15 min + 5 min for discussion.\n3) Students and postdocs now have the option of either an oral or poster\npresentation. The poster session will be informal to promote interaction of\npresenters with both junior and senior attendees.\n \nIn addition we will also trial holding the conference on Sat/Sun to allow\nthose with Friday lecturing commitments to attend. The venue has been\nbooked for the Friday before the meeting and all are welcome to arrive early\nand enjoy the beautiful surrounds of Kioloa and the NSW South Coast.\n \nFor those who are anticipating attending for the first time, registration is\nfree and accommodation is available in a variety of Cabin and Dormitory\nstyle buildings ($20/person/night), or there is plenty of space to pitch a\ntent if you prefer. For more information on the Kioloa Coastal Campus\nplease see: http://kioloa.anu.edu.au/\n \nTo register, please email either Clarke.Raymond@anu.edu.au or\nMaarten.Kole@anu.edu.au including the following information:\n \nName, affiliation, position, title of your presentation if you wish to give\none, and whether you prefer to give a talk or poster.\n \nWe would be very grateful if you could display the attached flyer and inform\nany of your lab members and colleagues whom you think might be interested.\n \n\nWarmest regards,\n\nProf Greg Stuart (Head, Division of Neuroscience, JCSMR)\nDr Maarten Kole\nDr Clarke Raymond\n

!!!The molecule that can switch appetite off and on\nA team of researchers from the [[Centre for Immunology at St Vincent’s Hospital|http://www.cfi.unsw.edu.au]] and the [[University of New South Wales|http://www.unsw.edu.au]] and the [[Garvan Institute of Medical Research|http://www.garvan.org.au]] in Sydney have developed a novel way to control the extreme weight loss common in late stage cancer, which often speeds death. The findings published in Nature Medicine suggest it may soon be possible to prevent this condition, giving people the strength to survive treatment and improve their chances of recovery \n[[read more...|http://biotechnsw.e-newsletter.com.au/link/id/ac17c5b47fd497218a03P186739c9960f06a0b46b/page.html#6b2d16eee1b930bf8790]]\n\n!!!ANS awards announced at IBRO2007 meeting\nCongratulations to NSW ANS member, ''[[Dr Sam Solomon|http://www.medfac.usyd.edu.au/people/academics/profiles/ssolomon.php]]'' for receiving the 2007 AW Campbell Award for the best contribution by a member of the society in their first five postdoctoral years . Sam is a Lecturer in Physiology at the University of Sydney.\n\nCongratulations also go to ''Angela Laird'' (School of Medical Sciences, UNSW) for receiving one of only eight student poster prizes awarded in a very large and competitive field.\n\n\n!!! World leader in dementia research to coming to POWMRI as a Federation Fellow\nWorld leader in dementia research, ''Professor John Hodges'', has been awarded a prestigious Federation Fellowship from the Australian Research Council. A Clinical Neuroscientist and MRC Professor of Behavioural Neurology at Cambridge University in the UK, Professor Hodges has accepted an appointment as Professor of Cognitive Neurology at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), and will be based at Sydney’s Prince of Wales Medical Research Institute ([[POWMRI]]). His appointment, which he takes up later this year, is a joint initiative between UNSW and POWMRI. \n\nProfessor Hodges is one of the world’s leading researchers in the field of dementia, and has proposed an innovative research program that will substantially advance Australia’s fundamental knowledge of cognitive processes. Importantly, his research program has a strong translational component through the development of improved methods for rehabilitation and health outcomes in patients.\n\n!!!Government funding for state neuroscience institutes\nThe Federal and New South Wales Governments have allocated a further $12 million for expansion of the [[Brain and Mind Research Institute|BMRI]] at the University of Sydney. The money will be used to support the BMRI's efforts to combat brain diseases, and brings the total amount of funding delivered recently to $45 million. The Founding Director of the Institute, Professor Max Bennett, said the funding would allow a rapid expansion of the BMRI's program which brings together psychiatrists, neurologists and neuroscientists to ameliorate diseases of the brain. Special efforts are being made in the area of dementia, with basic research as well as clinical research on vascular degeneration and the behavioural difficulties accompanying later degeneration associated with plaque formation. Another area of research involves young people showing early signs of psychosis as well as those with serious behavioural problems associated with psychotic episodes. A new $16 million building will house research on youth mental health, funded by the NSW Government and led by the Executive Director of the Institute, Professor Ian Hickie. This new building will be linked to the basic biomedical research buildings as well as those dedicated to clinical and translational research\n\nIn addition, the Federal Government has announced a $30 million investment to establish a Neuroscience Research Precinct on the Prince of Wales Campus in Sydney. The initiative, which was spearheaded by the Prince of Wales Medical Research Institute, will lead the new strategic direction and development of the Precinct.

He has played alongside Van Morrison and the Steve Miller Band. Much of Levitin's research is about why music moves us -- and why we love the music we love. It was Levitin who conducted the first study to prove that listening to music increases the amount of dopamine in the nucleus accumbens, a brain structure involved in feelings of pleasure and reward.

A TiddlyWiki is like a blog because it's divided up into neat little chunks, but it encourages you to read it by hyperlinking rather than sequentially: if you like, a non-linear blog analogue that binds the individual microcontent items into a cohesive whole. I think that TiddlyWiki represents a novel medium for writing, and will promote it's own distinctive WritingStyle. This is the ThirdVersion of TiddlyWiki, which adds several NewFeatures. There are also several TiddlyWikiAdaptations by other developers based on earlier versions.\n\nThe original TiddlyWiki is [[here|http://tiddlywiki.com]].

''Invitation: 2007 NHMRC Young Tall Poppies Student Seminar, Sydney 2 August 2007'' \n\nWe are writing to invite you, your colleagues and students to participate in the 2007 National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Young Tall Poppies Student Seminar Series, being held in conjunction with the Australian Institute of Policy and Science in Perth, Sydney and Melbourne. \n\nThis year, seminars will provide the latest information on health and medical research issues of major significance in our community. \n\nThe details of the Sydney Seminar are as follows:\n<<<\n''Theme: Latest Research: The Brain \n\nTime: 10.00am – 1.00pm\n\nVenue: Sydney Children's Hospital \n High Street, Randwick\n Level 1 Theatre''\n<<<\n \n//About the Seminar//\n\nIn this Seminar, four eminent researchers will look at the brain and how it works from different perspectives. These include discussions on how both genes and the environment contribute to brain disorders, how neurodegenerative disorders and infectious agents affect brain function and how drugs can affect the brain in both the short and long term. The role of research in the development of new treatments for brain disorders will be highlighted.\n\nWe have a most impressive group of Panelists for the Sydney Seminar this year, including: \n<<<\n''Professor Peter Schofield: Genes, environment and depression''\nExecutive Director & CEO, Prince of Wales Medical Research Institute, Sydney \n\n''Dr Kay Double: The ageing brain and disease''\nNHMRC Senior Research Fellow, Prince of Wales Medical Research Institute, Sydney; 2002 Young Tall Poppy \n\n''Dr Louisa Degenhardt: Population drug use and drug-related harm''\nSenior Lecturer, National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre, University of NSW; 2006 Young Tall Poppy \n\n''Dr Andrew Hill: Neurodegenerative disorders including "mad cow disease" and CJD disease''\nNHMRC RD Wright Fellow, Bio21 Institute, Lecturer in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Melbourne; 2006 Young Tall Poppy \n<<<\n\nFor more information and to register for this event contact the AIPS office on info@aips.net.au or call (02) 9810 5642.\n\n There is no fee to attend the Seminar. \n\nWe very much hope your organisation will be represented at the Sydney Seminar. We would appreciate your assistance in distributing this invitation to your colleagues/students. Please advise us as soon as possible if you would like to attend.
