The Cajal Winter Conference (CWC) is a biennial thematic conference on hot topics in Neurosciences organized by the Sociedad Española de Neurociencias (SENC) and sponsored by IBRO. The aim of this series of conferences is to bring together young researchers to present their recent data and discuss with international leaders in the field on common interests in an open, informal atmosphere. Our major goal is to provide with multiple opportunities to network and promote future collaborations, job opportunities and scientific interchanges for young researchers worldwide while discussing forefront topics in Neuroscience.
The next CWC 2014 THINKING THE FUTURE OF NEUROSCIENCE will take place in Salamanca, on May 19th-21st 2014.
Plenary lectures:
Dr. Ole Petter Ottersen: Astrocytic functions: new insights
Dr. Rafael Fernández Chacón: Synaptic dysfunction and nerve terminal degeneration
Dr. Christian C.G. Naus: Gap junctions in glial networks: implications in neurodevelopment and disease
Dr. Eloísa Herrera: Wiring and rewiring bilateral circuits
Dr. Kristjan Jessen: Schwann cells: development, injury and regeneration
Dr. Rafael Maldonado: Involvement of the endocannabinoid system in chronic pain.
