----------------------------------------
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.
CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
Submission of abstracts for poster and oral
presentations are due by 14 April 2014. We

Cellular Neuroscience, Impact factor 4.5). One of the authors
