Establishment of neural circuits is a tightly regulated process coordinated by a series of cellular and molecular mechanisms. Within the neural circuitry electrical and chemical information is transferred at the synapse. Dysregulation of synapse formation or function has been linked to a variety of neurological diseases including autism, schizophrenia, addiction, dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease. The Scientist brings together a panel of experts to discuss emerging technologies for studying synapse development and function. Attendees will have an opportunity to interact with the experts, ask questions, and seek advice on topics that are unique to their research.
This webinar will examine new tools for studying synaptogenesis and synapse function including:
  • Imaging, microscopy, and electrophysiology techniques
  • Molecular tools for studying synaptic proteins
  • Novel in vitro and in vivo methods
