The 2012 Conference will present major
recent advances on a wide range of
topics related to synaptic transmission
including vesicle fusion, structure
function relationships, novel forms of
plasticity and integration of synaptic
function into neuronal networks. The
Conference will bring together a diverse
group of investigators who are at the
forefront of their field, and will
provide ample opportunities for junior
scientists and graduate students to
present their work in poster format and
exchange ideas with world-class leaders
in the field. Some poster presenters
will be selected for short talks. In
addition, keynote lectures will be
delivered by two outstanding scientists
whose work on synapses and networks is
both highly influential and
complementary. Past participants have
lauded this GRC for the high quality of
unpublished data being presented and for
the collegial and interactive atmosphere
where scientists at all levels felt
welcome to join in the discussion of
recent advances in synaptic physiology.
