Connectionists: ICTP Winter School on Systems Neuroscience in Trieste, Dec 2014

[Alessandro Treves]

The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics is  
organizing a Winter School on Quantitative Systems Biology with a  
focus on System Neuroscience, from 1 to 12 December 2014, in Trieste,  
Italy.

New experimental techniques are opening windows on biological  
mechanisms inside the cell and in the brain, making these systems  
accessible to quantitative investigation and calling for an  
understanding of brain functions at the systemic level. The school is  
targeted to young researchers, especially at the Ph.D and postdoc  
level who either work in this area or hope to do so. Lecturers include:

Winfried Denk (Max Planck Inst., Germany)
Stefano Fusi (Columbia, USA)
Kate Jeffery (UCL, UK)
Etienne Koechlin (ENS Paris, France)
Venkatesh Murthy (Harvard, USA)
Israel Nelken (Hebrew Univ., Israel)
Botond Roska (FMI, Switzerland)
Wolfram Schultz (Univ. Cambridge, UK)
Tatyana Sharpee (Salk Institute, USA)
Misha Tsodyks (Weizmann Institute, Israel)
Fred Wolf (Univ. Göttingen, Germany)

There is no participation fee for selected participants. DEADLINE for  
applications June 1st, 2014
