OKINAWA COMPUTATIONAL NEUROSCIENCE COURSE 2006
Application Deadline:APRIL 10TH, 2006

http://www.irp.oist.jp/ocnc/2006
Theme: Computing Neurons
- What neurons compute; How we know by computing -
Our brain is a network of billions of neurons, but even a single neuron is a fantastically complex computing device. Technology has made it possible to look into the detailed structure of dendritic branches, variety of ionic channels and receptors, molecular reactions at the synapses, and the network of genes that regulate all these. The challenge is to understand the meaning and function of these components of the neural machine. To do this we need to put together data from many experiments at different levels into a computational model, and to analyze the kinds of computation that single neurons and their networks can perform. This course invites graduate students and postgraduate researchers who are interested in studies integrating experimental and computational approaches for understanding cellular mechanisms of neurons.
