Ribbon Synapses Symposium

Göttingen, DE

Attendance type(s): In Person

Event Dates: 24—26 Sep 2015

We would like to announce the Ribbon Synapses Symposium 2015, a small-sized international meeting to be held from the September 24th to 26th 2015 in Göttingen, Germany. The conference is jointly organized by the two Collaborative Research Centers “Cellular Mechanisms of Sensory Processing” and “Ca2+Signaling: Molecular Mechanisms and Integrative Functions”. Ribbon synapses of sensory cells in the inner ear and the retina are specialized in reliably transmitting sensory information over prolonged periods of time. Recent work has achieved major progress in understanding ribbon synapse molecular anatomy and physiology. Moreover, ribbon synapse function has been explored at the sensory systems level and by computational approaches. The meeting brings together experts in the field for discussing new data and providing a current overview on the processing of sensory information at ribbon synapses. We encourage participation of young scientists who might contribute by a poster or short talk (a limited number of slots are available, deadline for abstract submission is July 1st, 2015).
