THE CAJAL ADVANCED NEUROSCIENCE TRAINING PROGRAMME
www.cajal-training.org
• Lectures by renowned scientists with methodological training sessions
• Interactive and engaging atmosphere
• Experiments within the frame of short scientific projects
• Two top European facilities in neuroscience
Course Programme2018
Developmental Neurobiology and Pathologies3-21 April 2018
This course is organised in partnership with ERA-NET Neuron
Course directors: • AlainChédotal(InstitutdelaVision,INSERM,UPMC,France)• EloisaHerrera(NeuroscienceInstituteinAlicante,Spain)• JuliaLadewig(UniversityofBonn,Germany)On-site chair: • MireilleMontcouquiol(NeurocentreMagendie,INSERM,University
ofBordeaux,France)Venue: BordeauxNeurocampus,France
The course provides a comprehensive theoretical and experimentaltraining on the most advanced methodologies and models indevelopmental neurobiology, in health and disease. Participants willbecomefamiliarwithcutting-edgeinvivogenemanipulationmethods,3Dimagingtechnologies,time-lapsemicroscopyandcelltrackingandadvancedpluripotentstemcellculture.

Quantitative studies ofbehaviour are fundamental inour effort to understand brainfunction and malfunction.Recently, the techniques forstudying behaviour, alongwith those for monitoring andmanipulating neural activity,have progressed rapidly. Thiscourse is a practical “hands-on” introduction to advancedmethods in behaviouraltrackingandanalysisinarangeofmodelorganisms(zebrafish,fliesandrodents).Wewillcoversufficient background suchthatparticipantswillbeabletoestablish these techniques intheirhomelaboratories.

ComputationalNeuroscienceis a rapidly evolving fieldwhose methods andtechniques are critical forunderstandingandmodellingthe brain, and also fordesigning and interpretingexperiments. Mathematicalmodeling is an essentialtool to cut through the vastcomplexityofneurobiologicalsystems and their manyinteracting elements. Thecourse teaches the centralideas,methods,andpracticesof modern computationalneuroscience through acombination of lectures andhands-onprojectwork.
