Synaptic mechanisms of sensory perception
- đ¤ Speaker: Professor Carl Petersen, from the Brain Mind Institute, Faculty of Life Sciences, EPFL, Switzerland
- đ Date & Time: Friday 19 June 2009, 14:00 - 15:00
- đ Venue: Hodgkin-Huxley Room, Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience, Physiology Building, Downing Site
Abstract
Professor Carl Petersen investigates synaptic mechanisms of sensory perception and associative learning, in particular cortical processing of sensory input focusing on the signalling pathway from the mystacial whiskers to the somatosensory barrel cortex. The goal is to understand coding, development and plasticity of perceptions at the level of individual neurons and their synaptic interactions within a well-defined signalling pathway.
This event is free to attend. Registration is not required.
