Learning and Memory
Document Actions
Learning and memory are central ingredients for proper biological function in changing environments. Both processes are of particular importance for neuroscience but they also play a significant role in other biological disciplines. This autumn school focuses on the basic molecular and cellular processes underlying learning and memory in neural systems, with emphasis on synaptic plasticity. Experimental approaches will be discussed in close relation with the corresponding mathematical models, both at an introductory level. The last day of the school will bridge between the physiological and behavioral level and also touch on learning and memory in the immune system.
