BSN

Supervisory Board

Neuroscience Institutes

The Belgian Society for Neuroscience (BSN) is a non-profit scientific association whose purpose is to promote research and education in all fields of neuroscience, from basic to clinical and applied research. Since its inception in 1995, it is composed of about over 200 members of various nationalities working in research centers based or linked to Universities across Belgium, including permanent researchers, post-doctoral fellows and PhD students.

GIGA Neurosciences – Molecular Regulation of Neurogenesis

Prof. Dr. Wim Gevers

Cognitive control, metacognition, mind wandering and numerical cognition

Prof. Patricia Bonnavion

Our research aims at understanding how the brain controls arousal states and how maladaptive changes in these brain circuits altering sleep and arousal relate to neuropsychiatric symptoms on motor control and cognitive abilities.

Prof. Mathieu Bourguignon

My research is organized along two lines, trying to improve our knowledge of the brain mechanisms underlying 1) motor control and 2) speech processing.

Prof. Dr. Laurence Ris

Mechanisms of memory, synaptic plasticity, electrophysiology

Prof. Aurore Colomar

Spécialisée en Neurosciences et Electrophysiologie, mes recherches ont notamment porté sur les relations entre système immunitaire et système nerveux et sur l’identification d’effets secondaires des médicaments.

Junior Board

Goals of the BSN Junior Board

Connect young researchers in the field of neuroscience across Belgium
Help young researchers to find collaborations or a nice place to discuss
Represent each Belgian university

Activities of the BSN Junior Board

Neuro, Meet & Match: annual event organized by the BSN Junior Board for Belgium-based young neuroscientists. It consists in one-day program dedicated to promote exchanges and networking, and energize research ideas and creativity among the Neuroscience student community
Brain & Beers: meet your colleagues across the country to talk about neuroscience
