2019 Dendrites: Molecules, Structure and Function Gordon Research Conference (GRC)

2019 Dendrites: Molecules, Structure and Function Gordon Research Conference (GRC) is organized by Gordon Research Conferences (GRC) and will be held from Mar 31 - Apr 05, 2019 at Four Points by Sheraton Ventura Harbor Resort, Ventura, California, United States of America.

Conference Description:
Dendrites play a central role in neuronal computation by integrating thousands of synaptic inputs to generate the output of the neuron in the form of axosomatic action potentials. Advances in molecular, electrophysiological and imaging techniques have led to a rapid enhancement in our understanding of the mechanisms that shape dendritic structure, function and connectivity and the contribution of dendritic computation to behavior. Such multifaceted approaches have further demonstrated the extent to which dendrite structure and function may undergo plastic changes that contribute to development, learning and neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disease. Computational and theoretical approaches have further refined our views of dendrites and their unique role in brain function. This Gordon Research Conference will bring together researchers whose latest findings help clarify how the properties of dendrites enable them to perform complex computations important for sensory-motor processing and higher cognitive function. The conference will be of interest to researchers and students in neuroscience, as well as to anyone interested in normal and abnormal brain function.

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
