The School is aimed at bridging brain science, psychiatry, computational modelling, and complexity science to advance our understanding of mental health.

Despite the huge progress in the molecular and cellular neuroscience fields, our ability to understand the brain and to develop effective treatments for mental disorders is still rather limited. This limitation arises from the predominant approach of investigating mental disorders as a direct consequence of specific disruptions of the brain molecular machinery.

The second edition of this Neuroscience School, which was formerly supported by the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS), aims at improving the scientific training of PhD students in neuroscience and young neuroscientists.

This springer school will involve internationally recognized neuroscientists as teachers and will give the participants the opportunity to face several different Neuroscience fields with a main focus on stress-related diseases and to innovative methodological approaches for the study of neuronal function. During the school, the young researcher will be involved in training activities aimed at developing their soft and professional skills.

Novel Psychoactive Substances (NPS) are a broad variety of drugs not regulated by present
legislation. The advent of NPS has contributed to the appearance and growth of a new ‘drug scenario’ characterized by an increased number of drug users among youth and the consumption of drugs with unknown effects or safety profiles. Preclinical and clinical findings have shown that at lower doses NPS may produce effects comparable to those of illicit psychoactive drugs, such as Cannabis, heroin, cocaine and MDMA, however, with more severe consequences

#10TH Mediterranean Neuroscience Society Meeting
Address

Chania, Crete, Greece

June 8th from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM

When

The Italian Stress Network (ISN) is pleased and deeply grateful for the opportunity to present this special event, considered a valuable contribution to the scientific and human dialogue within the Mediterranean neuroscience community.

This forum will explore the complex and multifaceted impact of stress within Mediterranean societies, considering the unique sociocultural, economic, and geopolitical factors that shape individuals’ experiences of stress across the region. Particular attention will be given to the ways in which gender and cultural background influence stress vulnerability, resilience, and access to support systems—both within academic and clinical settings. By fostering a multidisciplinary dialogue among neuroscientists, clinicians, early-career researchers, and policymakers, the event seeks to uncover structural and contextual barriers to inclusion and well-being. Ultimately, the goal is to identify actionable strategies that promote diversity, equity, and the development of supportive, inclusive career paths in neuroscience for individuals from all backgrounds.
