The malleable brain: plasticity of neural circuits and behavior
Alpbach, Austria, September 12th – 18th 2016
The first ISN-JNC Flagship School covered basic molecular and cell biology of synaptic plasticity, motor learning and associative learning in simple systems, critical periods and developmental plasticity, navigation, birdsong, language learning, pathological consequences and societal implications in medicine and education. It also resulted in a Review article written from students to students.
