BrainFacts.org - new website explores the wonders of the brain and mind
IBRO joins the Canadian Institutes of Health Research; Dana Foundation; NINDS; NIMH; the Foundation for Biomedical Research; and the Wellcome Trust as an inaugural Content Partner in the newly launched www.BrainFacts.org. Initiated by the Society for Neuroscience, the Gatsby Charitable Foundation and the Kavli Foundation, the site will be a major step forward in presenting the brain and neuroscience in an accessible way to the public, organized to reflect the deep interconnections between topics in the field. We can imagine that there will be many ideas and possibilities imagined for the future, including ways to leverage this powerful technology and strategy platform to pursue new activities and partnerships that take advantage of Web-based communications.

Regional Short Course/Workshop
12/5/2011 -> 12/8/2011

Cordoba, Argentina. "Molecular tools for the study of integrative neurophysiology". Organized by Laura Vivas, one of the goals of the workshop was to expose students and postdoctoral fellows to modern techniques practiced by physiologists in Brazil, Argentina and North America and open the possibility for postdoctoral training in those laboratories.

School of Neurobiology, Molecular and Cell Biology
10/31/2011 -> 11/6/2011
Puerto Rico. "Probing normal and pathological neural cell functions".  A fundamental goal of the course organizers was to have the class represent the interdisciplinary nature and diversity of researchers in the neuronal biochemistry and cell biology fields. 33 students participated. Several students received invitations from faculty members of the School to visit research laboratories in the USA and Brazil next summer for additional training. These students will later return to Puerto Rico and apply these techniques in their own research projects at their respective institutions.
