EMBO Practical Course: 'Two-Photon Imaging of Brain Circuit Function'
Course - Zurich, Switzerland
Advances in two-photon microscopy and development of new functional indicators continue to provide manifold opportunities to study brain dynamics in living animals. Two-photon microscopy enables investigation of synaptic physiology, dendritic integration, neuronal and glial activation, and neuronal population dynamics in vivo. The EMBO Practical Course will provide participants with the theoretical background and practical knowledge to utilize two-photon microscopy for studying neural circuit dynamics
