We are finalizing plans for our November 2012 Symposium.
The Synapse: Basic Biology and Functional Consequences
Tuesday, November 29, 2011
8:30 am - 6:00 pm
Joseph B. Martin Conference Center at
Harvard Medical School
77 Avenue Louis Pasteur
Boston, MA 02115
Event Description:
The synapse is at the heart of the nervous system. Whereas much has been learned about how they develop, are regulated and fail, much more remains to be discovered. This one-day symposium examined the synapse from many angles including the most detailed molecular mechanisms underlying synaptic formation, to regulation, specialization and synaptic failure associated with diseases.
