  Theme of the School
"Synapses: from basic mechanisms to synaptopathies ".
  The course is intended for mid-term PhD students and young postdocs. A total of 22 students will be accepted. The programme will cover lectures and discussions with renowned scientists as well as methodological training, organized as short practical projects. For each of these mini-projects, a team of 2 students will work under the direction of the local faculty. Each week will be ‘themed’ to focus on one particular technique as follows:
1) Molecular and cellular biology, morphology
2) Electrophysiology and live imaging
3) Integrated and behavioural approaches
   
The course will cover the following aspects
Morphological and ultrastructural analysis
Structure/function studies of synaptic proteins and receptors
Mechanisms of neurotransmitter release
Analysis of synaptic function
Assembly and trafficking of synaptic components
Functional mechanisms of short and long-term synaptic plasticity
Morphological basis of synaptic plasticity
Molecular determinants of synaptic plasticity
Imaging synaptic plasticity
Plasticity of synaptic networks
Synaptic plasticity in learning and memory
Pathological forms of synaptic plasticity: the example of addiction mechanisms
