EMBO Workshop on Dendritic Anatomy, Molecules and Function
(DENDRITES 2016)
Heraklion, Crete, Greece
info@dendrites2016.gr
Organizers:
Yiota Poirazi, IMBB-FORTH
Michael Hausser, UCL
Matthew Larkum, Humboldt University
Dear Colleagues,
We are happy to announce reduced registration fees for
students attending DENDRITES 2016: 150 Euro until March 31st.
We would also like to remind you that abstracts for poster and oral
presentation are due by February 15th, 2016.
Notifications will be provided by February 29th, 2016.
We welcome both experimental and theoretical
contributions addressing novel findings, methods or databases
related to dendrites that fall into one or more of the following
domains:
- morphological and
functional characterizations,
- dendritic
integration and compartmentalization,
- dendritic channel
distribution and their functional implications,
- molecular pathways
and signaling networks,
- RNA trafficking and
local protein synthesis,
- functional or
structural plasticity and homeostasis,
- the role of
dendrites in complex processes, including learning/memory,
neural computations etc.
Please note that places are limited and subject
to availability. Attendees are highly encouraged to submit
abstracts for presentations, since presenters will be given
priority for registration.
Instructions for on-line submission can be found at http://www.dendrites2016.gr/call-for-papers
