Two weeks to go until the European Stroke Organisation Conference, and preparations are well underway. Delighted that our team will be contributing to two sessions exploring how brain organisation and biological mechanisms can help advance stroke recovery and precision medicine. 🧠 Pedro Nascimento Alves will present his new work on neurotransmitter-specific circuit disruption of the language network, showing how distinct patterns of disconnections at the molecular level may

How does the brain give rise to language—one of the most defining features of human cognition? Classical models have long searched for specialised “language centres”, yet modern neuroscience reveals a more complex picture: language emerges from dynamic interactions within distributed brain networks. In this talk, I will introduce a network-based perspective on language, showing how patterns of connectivity between brain regions—rather than isolated areas—support speaking, und

Emergent Properties of the connected brain (obviously AI genereate) In the week preceding OHBM 2026, we are hosted a focused workshop in Bordeaux, France, bringing together researchers and trainees working at the intersection of neuroanatomy, connectomics, and language neuroscience. The workshop was designed as an intensive, hands-on training environment, where participants were encouraged to bring their own datasets and work directly on their analyses with guidance from the

Portugal this March 15–18, 2026 Find the programme and all info here: https://dgkn-summerschool.my.canva.site/ Join us in the heart of Portugal this March 15–18, 2026, for the 3rd IONM Advanced Summer School, organized by the DGKN and FBA. Moving beyond the basics, this exclusive, hands-on intensive is designed for clinicians ready to master the cutting edge of intraoperative neuromonitoring. Set against the stunning backdrop of Vila Velha de Ródão, participants will dive dee

The 2026 annual meeting of the Cognitive Neuroscience Society (CNS)will take place in Vancouver, Canada, March 7–10, 2026. This meeting always features outstanding presentations across many areas of cognitive neuroscience. This year it is worth highlighting a broad spectrum of exciting research in the cognitive neuroscience of language. On Saturday, March 7, Professor Peter Hagoort will give the keynote lecture: “Our Language-Ready Brain.” We also host an invited symposium on

We were thirlled to run the symposium 'The Role of Brain Mapping in 21st Century Clinical Neurophysiology' at the Deutschen Gesellschaft für Klinische Neurophysiologie und Funktionelle Bildgebung (DGKN) Recent advances in brain mapping are reshaping clinical neurophysiology by offering new tools for understanding, preserving, and modulating neural function. This symposium brings together leading researchers at the intersection of neuroimaging, connectivity analysis, and clini

NEURAL 2025 “Emergent Properties of the Connected Brain” begins in Bordeaux today! The room is ready, the programmes are set, and a week of deep discussion on emergence is about to start. We’re welcoming an international, multidisciplinary group to explore how complex meaning arises across levels — from neural dynamics to cognition — using the latest neuroimaging tools across neurosurgery neuroscience linguistics neurology speechandlanguagetherapy . 🧠 Tools an

Excited to be giving a keynote at the Gesellschaft für Aphasieforschung und -behandlung (GAB) this week in Aachen, Germany. I’ll be speaking on the reorganisation of language networks in aphasia — bringing together insights from neuroanatomy , variability in white matter connectivity, and the potential of receptor-enriched connectomics. Looking forward to engaging with clinicians , researchers , and therapists dedicated to advancing our understanding and treat
