Signaling at the Synapse: Mechanisms of Modulation and Plasticity

The Gordon Research Seminar on Excitatory Synapses and Brain Function is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

This meeting will highlight recent advances on mechanisms of excitatory synaptic plasticity and modulation of excitatory synaptic function, with a focus on key signaling events underlying these processes. The meeting will empower young bench scientists to showcase their work in a welcoming environment of peers, while also providing a venue for professional development through a career development and mentoring panel composed of leaders from different research sectors including academia, government, and industry.
