Announcement, program, and call for participation:
Berlin Autumn School
LEARNING AND MEMORY:
MOLECULAR MECHANISMS - CELLULAR PROCESSES - MATHEMATICAL MODELS
October 11-13, 2004
Berlin, Germany
Learning and memory are central ingredients for proper biological
function in changing environments. Both processes are of particular
importance for neuroscience but they also play a significant role in
other biological disciplines. This autumn school focuses on the basic
molecular and cellular processes underlying learning and memory in
neural systems, with emphasis on synaptic plasticity. Experimental
approaches will be discussed in close relation with the corresponding
mathematical models, both at an introductory level. The last day of
the school will bridge between the physiological and behavioral level
and also touch on learning and memory in the immune system.
