<div>Dear colleagues,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Please find below an announcement about the fifth edition of
the Transylvanian Experimental Neuroscience Summer School
(TENSS). We would be very grateful if you could forward this
announcement to potentially interested people.</div>

<div>Transylvanian Experimental Neuroscience Summer School (TENSS)</div>
<div>June 1-19, 2016. The Pike Lake, Transylvania, Romania</div>
<div><a href="http://www.tenss.ro/" target="_blank">www.tenss.ro</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>TENSS will concentrate top-level international expertise to
teach a dozen students techniques and concepts in experimental
systems neuroscience. We will focus on modern optical and
electrophysiological methods to study the connectivity and
function of neuronal circuits. The course is designed to be
intensive and highly interactive, including both lab sessions
and theoretical lectures. Coursework will take place in a land
of myth and legend, beyond large forests (Transylvania), on the
shores of a picturesque natural reserve called Pike Lake.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Applications are welcome from interested (and interesting)
graduate students and postdocs. Please note that there is a
significant number of fee waivers and travel support grants
available for supporting our applicants.</div>
