Throughout its history, art has found in science a source of inspiration. From Surrealism to Art Brut or the most recent Neuroart, many artists have been influenced by neurology and neuropsychiatry advances. Likewise, neuroscience has used art not only as a research topic but also as a way to represent many of its findings. Leonardo Da Vinci or Ramon y Cajal showed us the beauty of the brain with a strong reliance on visual representation.

This webinars focuses on the concept of dendritic spines as learning hubs presented by two outstanding speakers Prof. Javier DeFelipe (ES) and Prof. Valentin Nägerl (FR).

Santiago Ramón y Cajal, the Spanish founder of modern neuroscience, was the first researcher to identify dendritic spines as important neuronal structures and the role that spines play in learning and memory. Before, these tiny structures were considered mere artefacts.

More than a century after Cajal’s discovery, neuroscientists know that spines play an important role in memory acquisition and consolidation, and are the topic of cutting-edge research combining structural, physiological, and modelling studies.

The FENS Committee for Higher Education and Training (CHET) and History Committee have organised a new series of online webinars, “How concepts and techniques emerged in neuroscience: a historical perspective”, which aims to pair current trends in neuroscience, from revolutionary techniques or neuroscience concepts, with their historical roots and relevant historical figures in the field.
