<b><a href="http://www.amritabioquest.org/workshop/neuroscience/" target="_blank">From Cellular to Circuit and Brain Functions: Passing through Mathematical Models</a></b></div>
</div><div style="text-align:center">10th August 2013 </div><div class="im"><div style="text-align:center">at Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences, Kochi, Kerala, India. </div>
<div style="text-align:center"><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="im"><div>The technical program of the workshop will include neurophysiology, brain imaging, computational neuroscience of single neurons, and tools in neuroinformatics. Case studies in computational neuroscience (cerebellar microcircuits and reconstructing local field potentials) will target mixed groups of students and researchers with and without prior experience in this field. Novel techniques and approaches in computational modelling in neuroscience will be featured. </div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div><div>Speakers include:</div><div><div>Upinder Bhalla - Dean, NCBS, Bengaluru, India</div><div>Egidio D'Angelo - Director, Brain Connectivity Center and Professor of Physiology, University of Pavia, Italy</div>
