Plenary Speaker: Ryohei Yasuda, PhD Scientific Director, Max Planck Florida Institute Dr. Yasuda’s research focuses on synaptic plasticity, the ability of synapses to change their connection strength. This process is thought to underlie learning and memory. Cascades of biochemical reactions in dendritic spines, tiny (~0.1 femtoliter) postsynaptic compartments emanating from dendritic surfaces, trigger diverse forms of […]
