Dear colleague,

we would like to bring at your attention the forthcoming OCNS workshop on "Computational Methods and Modeling of Astrocyte Physiology and Neuron-Glia Interactions". The workshop will take place in Quebec City (Canada) on July 30th-31st, following the main OCNS meeting.

The workshop brings together a representative pool of theoreticians involved in modeling of several aspects of astrocyte physiology and neuron-glia interactions, aiming at providing a rare and original occasion to familiarize with the current state of research on the challenging topic of the functional role of neuron-glia interactions.

Topics covered by this workshop include:

1. -- Calcium signaling in astrocytes (from subcellular/compartmentalized to network levels);
   
2. -- Neuron-glia interactions, regulation of synaptic transmission, plasticity and neuronal responses by astrocytes;
   
3. -- Astrocyte role in homeostasis and neurotrasmitter clearance;
4. -- Information processing by astrocytes.

For the detailed program and the list of speakers, you are kindly invited to visit the workshop homepage:

We encourage you to share this mail with your colleagues and whoever could be interested to attend our workshop.

Thanks for your attention.

Kind regards,
