The I International Workshop on Synaptic Plasticity - IWSYP'14 will bring
together *experimentalists and theoreticians* who have contributed
significantly to understanding the biological mechanisms underlying *synaptic
plasticity*. The aim of this workshop is to facilitate discussions and
interactions in the effort towards increasing our understanding on synaptic
plasticity in the brain.

The IWSYP'14 will take place in the campus of *Ribeirão Preto* at the
University of São Paulo in *Brazil* on September 8 and 9, 2014. You are
welcome to join this workshop that focuses on the discussion of fresh
