![]() ![]() We then use morphological models based on optimal wiring principles to study the relation between input distributions and dendritic branching structures. Moreover, R is independent of cell size and we find that it is only weakly correlated with other branching statistics, suggesting that it might reflect features of dendritic morphology that are not captured by commonly studied branching statistics. We find that the distributions of these points depend strongly on cell types, indicating possible fundamental differences in synaptic input organization. Here, we analyze dendritic branching structures using a regularity index R, based on average nearest neighbor distances between branch and termination points, characterizing their spatial distribution. Inputs could be distributed in tight clusters, entirely randomly or else in a regular grid-like manner. However, the relationship between the shape of dendrites and the precise organization of synaptic inputs in the neural tissue remains unclear. Participants will be expected to reserve their own hotel accommodation via the online link.Neurons collect their inputs from other neurons by sending out arborized dendritic structures. More information is available at EMBO Travel Grants' page. Selection of awardees is handled directly by the organizer who will notify all eligible participants. ![]() Applicants do not need to apply separately for travel grants for this event but should indicate on the registration form if they wish to be considered for a travel grant. Travel grantsĪ limited number of travel grants are available for participants. The program for poster presentations can be found here. Poster size A0 - Poster board dimensions are 1.00m x 1.00m with actual display area of 80cm width x 94cm height Please use the online submission system and copy-paste your text in the specified locations. Abstract guidelinesĪbstracts should describe the latest work on molecular, biophysical, anatomical, computational and/or functional aspects of dendrites to further our understanding of how these beautiful structures contribute to different brain functions and their abnormalities.Ībstracts should be no longer that 600 words plus references. Our goal is that at least 2/6 young speakers are female. The top 5–6 abstracts will be selected, taking into account the percentage of female authors. The selection will be based on the scoring (based on relevance, merit and significance) of submitted abstracts. With respect to young researchers, the workshop will have sessions ( 5–6 talks of 20 minutes each) where young researchers (postdocs or students) will be selected to present their work. Efforts will be made to ensure that at least 30% of participants are female researchers. Abstracts will be reviewed by the program committee and evaluated according to their relevance to the topic of the workshop, the merit, and the significance of their scientific findings. Participants will be selected based on the submission of scientific abstracts. (This is a different programme from the Abstract Registration Page so you must create a new username and password when proceeding to payment) Selection criteria Payment will be made directly through the activated online registration page which is linked to the bank’s secure server. Organisers are encouraged to implement measures to make the meeting environmentally more sustainable. The goal of this EMBO Workshop is to bring together scientific leaders from around the world whose latest work on molecular, biophysical, anatomical, computational, and/or functional aspects of dendrites can further our understanding of how these beautiful structures contribute to different brain functions and their abnormalities.ĮMBO Courses and Workshops are selected for their excellent scientific quality and timelines, provision of good networking activities for all participants and speaker gender diversity (at least 40% of speakers must be from the underrepresented gender). As a result, dendrites have been suggested to play a key role in processing information in the brain. Beyond their role as conducting cables, dendrites of many neuron types contain a rich repertoire of ionic mechanisms that allow them to perform complex nonlinear computations. Since the majority of synaptic connections reside in dendrites, they provide the primary substrate for inter-neuronal communication. Dendrites are thin processes extending from the cell bodies of neurons. ![]()
