The structural plasticity of neurons in the adult sensory cortex
Dr Graham Knott, EPFL, Switzerland

This talk will describe a series of experiments imaging neurons in the brains of live rodents. Using correlated 2-photon and electron microscopy, these have shown how adult neuronal connectivity is far from hard-wired, with dendritic spines playing a significant role in the rapid alterations in the wiring of cortical circuits.

Dept of Anatomy (lunch room), Domus Medica, University of Oslo, Gaustad

Refreshments will be served.
