Dendrites 2014  

International Workshop on Dendrites

Heraklion, Crete, Greece. 

July 1-4, 2014

Dendrites provide the substrate for inter-neuronal communication and their nonlinear properties play a key role in information processing. This Workshop brings together scientific leaders to present their research on dendrites, at the molecular, anatomical and biophysical level. The main meeting (July 1 - 3, 2014) will be followed by a day of soft skills targeted at advanced PhD students and early postdoctoral researchers (July 4, 2014).

Invited speakers for the main event include:

Susumu Tonegawa (Nobel Laureate)

Angus Silver

Tiago Branco

Alcino J. Silva

Michael Häusser

Julietta U. Frey

Stefan Remy

For the soft skill session (July 4th), Kerri Smith, Nature podcast editor, is going to present on communication and dissemination of scientific results.  Alcino J. Silva (UCLA) will present his recent work on developing Research maps: tools for integrating and planning research in Neuroscience.

• Abstract submission opens: late January 2014.
• Abstract submission closes: early March, 2014.
• Notification of abstract acceptance: late March 2014.
• Notification of oral/poster presentation: early April 2014.

One of the authors has to register for the main meeting as a presenting author. Accepted abstracts will be presented as posters or orals. In case an abstract is not accepted for presentation, the registration fee will be refunded.

We are working with collaborators to make travel funding available for selected students and post-doc participants.
