Caroline Quoilin took part in the 17th Congress of the European Society for Biomedical Research on Alcoholism (ESBRA), held at Lille, France, during September 21 - 24, 2019. There, she had the occasion to give a talk regarding new data acquired in collaboration with Dr. Sophie Leclercq, in which she attempts to evaluate whether a prebiotics supplementation in alcohol-dependent patients, by restoring the composition of their gut microbiota, would allow to improve motor inhibitory abilities and to alter the physiology of the motor system.
Most of the team members of the CoActions Lab attended the 9th International Symposium on Biology of Decision Making (SBDM), Oxford, United Kingdom, May 2019. Caroline Quoilin, Gérard Derosière, Emmanuelle Wilhelm, Pierre Vassiliadis and Fanny Fievez had been selected for a poster presentation.

Most of the team members of the CoActions Lab attended the 13th National Congress of the Belgian Society for Neuroscience (BSN) taking place at the Royal Academy for Arts and Sciences in Brussels, Belgium, on May 24, 2019. Gérard Derosière, Pierre Vassiliadis, Fanny Fievez, Caroline Quoilin and Julien Grandjean had been selected for a poster presentation whereas Emmanuelle Wilhelm had been selected for a scientific talk.
The CoActions Lab had the honour of taking home two prizes at this congress, since Gerard Derosiere and Emmanuelle Wilhelm won an award for best poster presentation and best oral presentation respectively!

Gerard and Pierre were in beautiful Japan to present their latest data at the Society for the Neural Control of Movement. Gerard presented his study on the impact of urgency on corticospinal excitability during action selection. Pierre showed data obtained with his new reward-based motor skill learning task. They both had very insightful conversations and learned a lot from the different talks and symposia. Arigato NCM!
