The Gordon Research Seminar on Dendrites: Molecules, Structure & Function is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas. The focus of this meeting is on dendrites, the integrators of electrochemical signals in the brain. Topics of interest include: dendrite development, dendritic integration, synapse development and plasticity, computational properties of dendrites and the role of dendrites in disease.
