"Exploration of sleep dynamics, circadian control and evolution"
Equity is a major issue for scientific and medical research insofar as it concerns not only access to careers and positions of responsibility, but also the way knowledge is produced and applied in the field of health. In this perspective, the Paris Brain Institute will host, on Thursday April 2, the 2026 edition of the Gender Equity Movement (GEM) Symposium, which this year explores an often neglected angle: how gender stereotypes, including those affecting men, shape inequalities.
Speaker : David HAFLER, Department of Neurology and lmmunology, Yale School of Medicine and Broad lnstitute of MIT and Harvard University.
"Genetics, Viruses, and the Cause of Multiple Sclerosis"
Speaker : Soledad Gonzalo COGNO, Kavli Institute for systems Neuroscience
"Ultraslow patterns of neural population activity in the entorhinal-hippocampal circuit"
Speaker : Cendri HUTCHERSON, Department of Psychology University of Toronto
"Neurocomputational approaches to goal pursuit, productivity, and self-control in the lab and real life"
The objective of this three-day symposium is to gather people from different research fields with different approaches (philosophy, cognition, economics, ethology, psychiatry, robotics, neural and computational approaches) to decision making.
