The Annual Meeting of the Leverhulme Trust funded Theoretical
Neuroscience Network will take place at Loughborough University between
September 21 and September 23. Registration is currently open and
participants are encouraged to register promptly as the number of
places is limited. The organizers are currently accepting submissions
for contributed talks and posters.

Invited Speakers include: Andre Longtin (Ottawa), Bill Troy

cuits,
based on the Hodgkin-Huxley formalism, the cable equation and the
compartmental modeling technique. The use of these methods will be
illustrated with the development and investigation of numerical
simulations with the programs GENESIS and NEURON. The school is divided
in two weeks, the first one for theoretical lectures and hands on
tutorials, and the second one for invited lectures and the development
of project works by the students. Students will follow a highly
demanding schedule of morning lectures followed by afternoon and evening
computational laboratory sessions.

The School will be held at the campus of the University of São Paulo at
Ribeirão Preto (a city about 313 km north of Sao Paulo). Course
applicants should be fluent in English (written/spoken) and have a solid
background in life and/or hard sciences (some experience in computer
programming is also desirable).

Applications are welcome and should be made by using the application
form on the school web page
(http://neuron.ffclrp.usp.br/lascon/home.htm). The number of students is
limited to 20 and priority will be given to students from Latin American
countries. Under exceptional circumstances, students from other areas of
the world could be accepted as well. Costs for accommodation and meals
will be covered by the school organization. In exceptional cases,
limited funding is available to partly cover travel expenses.
