%%
\\ \\
__Invitation to attend the international meeting, The Brain Active Milieu in Norm and Pathology 2026, co-organised by Jiaxing University and Zhejiang Chinese Medical University, and held in Jiaxing, China, from 30 March to 2 April 2026. The meeting is organized by [Alexey Semyanov|Member/Semyanov_Alexey] MAE and [Vladimir Parpura|Member/Parpura_Vladimir] MAE, both members of the [Physiology and Neuroscience Section|Acad_Main/Sections/Physiology_and_neuroscience] of Academia Europaea.__
\\ \\
The organizers welcome all speakers, colleagues, students, and guests to this meeting which brings together leading researchers from different areas of neuroscience to discuss the brain active milieu in both health and disease. This topic reflects a growing recognition that brain function cannot be understood by studying neurons alone, but instead requires an integrated view of the dynamic interactions between neurons, astrocytes, microglia, vasculature, extracellular matrix, and metabolic environment. 
\\ \\
The goal in organizing this meeting is to create a stimulating and friendly forum for scientific exchange. Over the next few days, the programme will inspire new ideas, encourage lively discussion, and promote collaborations across disciplines, methods, and countries. The broad range of lectures, from fundamental cellular mechanisms to advanced imaging, disease models, and translational perspectives, highlights both the complexity of the field and the exciting opportunities that lie ahead. 
\\ \\
The organizers are especially pleased to host this event at Jiaxing University and to welcome many distinguished international and Chinese scientists to our campus. The meeting will offer opportunity to meet new colleagues, strengthen existing collaborations, and share a vision for the future of neuroscience.
