Towards an Integrative Understanding from Neural Element Computation to Individual Behavior

Abstract

There remains a significant gap between research on information processing and synaptic plasticity in single neurons and studies on neural circuits responsible for higher brain functions in brain regions. After Neuro2024, we will invite four top scientists from each of these fields to Kagoshima. We will provide a forum for graduate students and young researchers involved in neuroscience in southern Kyushu to discuss research that bridges these levels of study.

Presenter

Ryohei Yasuda (Max Planck Florida, USA)：Neuronal signal transduction in synaptic plasticity
Greg Stuart (Monash University, Australia)：Synaptic integration in human dendrites
Takashi Kitamura (University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, USA)：Neural circuit mechanisms for cognitive modularity in medial entorhinal cortex
Tsukasa Kamigaki (Nanyang Technological University, Singapore)：Functional alterations of the prefrontal circuit underlying cognitive aging in mice
