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.
