----------------------------------------
Dendrites 2014 aims to bring together
scientists from around the world to
present their research on dendrites, ranging from the
molecular to the
anatomical and biophysical levels. The Workshop will take
place in the
beautiful island of Crete, just after the AREADNE meeting (areadne.org)
which takes place in the nearby island of Santorini. Note that
Santorini is
just a 2 hour boat ride from Crete. One could combine two
meetings in a single
trip to Greece!
FORMAT AND SPEAKERS
The meeting consists of the Main Event (July
1-3) and the Soft Skills Day
(July 4). 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, and
* Kristen Harris.
For the Soft Skills Day, 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
tools for
integrating and planning research in Neuroscience. There will
be a hands on
session on tools used to model neural cells/networks and a
talk about the
advantages of publishing under the Creative Commons License.

Submission of abstracts for poster and oral
presentations are due by 31 March 2014. We
