☰✕ NEWS | EVENTS | RESEARCH | CAREERS Hello!  On behalf of our colleagues at the UC Irvine Center for Neural Circuit Mapping, we wanted to let you know that registration is now open for next year's Second International Conference on Unconventional Animal Models of Alzheimer's Disease and Aging. Hosted February 9-11, 2026 at the University of California, Irvine, this engaging conference will showcase recent breakthroughs, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and encourage dynamic scientific exchange. Registration closes December 9, visit the event page for more details. VISIT EVENT PAGE This event will offer a unique platform to discuss and explore unconventional mammalian and non-murine models of AD that may provide enhanced translational potential for therapeutic development. Abstracts are also due December 9 and the form can be found on the event page. Featured sessions: New Models and Technologies Genomics Research Behavioral Science and Integrative Neuroscience Neural Circuit Organizations and Dynamics in Aging and AD Geriatrics and Aging Processes Research Biomarker and Intervention Development Speaker highlights: Trygve Bakken, Allen Institute Matthew Blurton Jones, University of California, Irvine Gregory Carter, The Jackson Laboratory Christopher Glass, University of California, San Diego Vera Gorbunova, University of Rochester Dirk Keene, University of Washington John Morrison, University of California, Davis Alysson Muotri, University of California, San Diego Bing Ren, New York Genome Center Afonso Silva, University of Pittsburgh Please direct any questions about this event to the organizing team at cn...@uci.edu.
