Organized by: José A. Esteban Centro de Biología Molecular Severo Ochoa, CSIC-UAM. Madrid, Spain. Juan Lerma Instituto de Neurociencias, CSIC- UMH. Sant Joan d'alacant (Alicante), Spain. Thomas L. Schwarz F.M. Kirby Neurobiology Center, Children's Hospital Boston, and Harvard Medical School. Boston, USA. Sponsor: SCOPE It is now evident that synaptic function relies on core components of the intracellular membrane trafficking machinery to support key aspects of neurotransmitter vesicle cycling and postsynaptic receptor translocation. On the other hand, synaptic membranes are endowed with specific molecular tools tailored to fulfill the unique demands of synaptic transmission, such as the tight temporal and spatial regulation of membrane fusion, or its coupling to synaptic activity. This workshop will bring
together these concepts, in an effort to integrate synaptic and neuronal physiology within the realm of cell biology. Throughout the sessions, we will emphasize the multidisciplinary aspect of modern neuroscience research and the development of new experimental techniques, including cutting-edge imaging and electrophysiological approaches, together with powerful genetic manipulations to assess the role of individual molecules in complex behaviors and their implication in cognitive disease. FORMAT OF THE WORKSHOP The workshop will bring together 17 speakers and a maximum of 33-35 participants, to form a group of around 50 people. The scientific programme will start in the morning of Monday, October 7 th, and will end around noon on Wednesday, October 9 th. Ample time for informal discussion will be reserved. Participants will be invited to present a poster. VE UE OF THE WORKSHOP The workshop will be held in Baeza, at the Sede Antonio Machado, a XVII century building turned into a Conference Centre of the Universidad Internacional de Andalucía (UNIA). This Seat includes a recently restored residence, where participants will be accommodated. Baeza is a World Historic Heritage town, renowned for its Renaissance and Gothic buildings.
