CNS*2019 Twenty Eighth Annual Computational Neuroscience Meeting Universitat de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain. Jul. 16 - 17, 2019 Workshop Title: Dopaminergic Signaling Workshop Organizer: Carmen Canavier, LSU Health Science Center New Orleans, ccanav@lsuhsc.edu Brief Description: This workshop will examine dopaminergic signaling from the perspective of the regulation of afferent inputs to dopamine neurons, to plasticity of afferent synapses onto dopamine neurons, to the dynamic diversity of dopamine neuron subpopulations, to plasticity and other forms of dopaminergic signaling in projection areas such as the striatum and prefrontal cortex, with reference to depression, schizophrenia, Parkinson's and addiction. This work is timely in that the diversity of dopaminergic populations is beginning to be appreciated and significant because of the cognitive, motor and motivational functional circuits that rely on dopaminergic signaling. https://www.cnsorg.org/cns-2019 Speakers: Joshua Berke Dissociable dopamine dynamics for learning and motivation UCSF Avrama Blackwell TBA George Mason University Carmen Canavier Dynamics of distinct subpopulations of dopamine neurons LSU Health Science Center Kenji Doya State, value and action coding in the striatum Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Daniel Durstewitz Inferring nonlinear dynamics from fMRI recordings in schizophrenia University of Heidelberg Arif Hamid Wave-like spatio-temporal patterns organize dopamine Brown University transients into compartmentalized decision-signals Laurent Venance Dopamine-endocannabinoid interactions mediate bidirectional spike Collège de France timing dependent plasticity in the striatum Martin Vinck TBA Ernst Struengmann Institute for Neuroscience Jeff Wickens Timing of dopamine directs synaptic plasticity Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Denis Zakharov Role of VTA GABAergic neurons in high-frequency firing of dopaminergic neuron Higher School of Economics (Moscow) Larry Zweifel TBA University of Washington
