June 27-29, 2018, Göttingen (Tutorials: June 26)
http://www.wamtn.info/

This workshop will focus on the inherent difficulties of studying the underlying dynamics that guides synaptic organization in neuronal circuits. The forum is intended for researchers to not only share results but also survey and discuss recent advances in methods and to pinpoint limitations of the existing theoretical tools.

These exchanges will be complemented by poster presentations from students and postdocs. A day of tutorial sessions will be held prior to the main meeting, covering some of the background and methods discussed in the workshop.
