Satellite Meeting to the EBBS 2007 Conference 15 September 2007 Stress, Brain and Behaviour Recent Developments on Pharmacology, Modelling and Translational Issues
The goal of this meeting is to shed new light on the mechanisms underlying the effects of stress on brain and behaviour with a focus on translational issues, novel behavioural and computational tools, and potential therapeutic approaches. In addition, an important goal of this meeting is to promote discussions.
The Satellite will start at 10:30 and last till 17:30 h, finishing early enough to attend the Opening Reception of the EBBS 2007 Meeting, in the Miramare Campus, Trieste, Italy. 10:30 Welcome Introduction Translational Issues Chair: Gernot Riedel (Univ. of Aberdeen, UK) 10:40 Christopher Pryce (Novartis, Switzerland) – Neuropsychological assessment in non-human primates: contribution to understand the physiological and pathological effects of stress in humans. 11:05 Lynn Nadel (Univ. of Arizona, U.S.A.) – Differential modulation of memory by stress in humans 11:30 Bill Deakin (Univ. of Manchester, U.K.) Serotonin modulation of motivation, emotion and memory in humans; how, when and why? 11:55 Discussant: Eberhard Fuchs (German Primate Center, Göttingen, Germany) Behaviour and Modelling Chair: Bruno Poucet (Marseille, France) 12:20 Peter Dayan (Univ.
