Volga Neuroscience School 2016: “Astroglial control of rhythm genesis in the brain”
Program Overview:
The UNN Institute of Neuroscience organises a Volga Neuroscience School, 24-30 July 2016, aimed at early career researchers working in neuroscience and related disciplines with an interest in the role of astroglia in brain function. The School will host a series of lectures and round-table workshop seminars conducted by international experts in the field. These will be focused on the modern concepts and approaches to explore the versatile roles of glial cells in the brain. The attendees are requested to have a poster presentation. Poster sessions will be held during the School, with a Best Poster Prize awarded. Applications are welcome from graduate students and postdoctoral researchers.
Volga Neuroscience School 2016: “Astroglial control of rhythm genesis in the brain” is supported by the grant from the Russian Scientific Foundation “Astroglial regulation of brain rhythms and epileptic seizures” (15-14-30000).
