Conference Description
The Dendrites: Molecules, Structure and Function GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.
From being a defining morphological feature of neuronal types in the CNS to computational units acting as a dynamic gate for information processing, dendrites have garnered interest in the neuroscience community for over a century. This long-standing quest for knowledge has provided many insights into fundamental aspects of neurobiology – from molecular and structural mechanisms for synapse function to computational strategies for effective signal processing; and has provided for many more questions which continue to fuel our curiosities today.
The program of this seminar encompasses the breadth of investigations in studying dendrites to bring together young doctoral and post-doctoral scientists in an open exchange of ideas and expertise to inspire new directions and growth in this field. The meeting is designed for young investigators to primarily showcase unpublished work to exchange novel concepts, cutting-edge tools, and exciting data in an open-minded discussion. The seminar aims to foster scientific insights, valuable professional development, and a chance to form lasting friendships with others who share your curiosity.
The speaker abstract deadline has been moved to January 12th, all are encouraged to apply.
