An advanced course hosted by Neuroscience School of Advanced Studies (NSAS) on the pathological processes that restrain lesioned axons from regenerating after a spinal cord injury.
2018.06.26 | Frederikke Schmidt-Kallesøe
Date | Sat 08 Sep — Sat 15 Sep |
Time | 00:00 — 00:00 |
Location | Isola di San Servolo, Venice, Italy |
The advanced course will describe the current understanding of signaling and cell biological processes involved in axon regeneration, and will highlight studies using genetically tractable systems. Recent progress in the understanding of the immune system and its role after a spinal cord injury will be presented as well as the rapid development of neuroprosthetic interventions and rehabilitation procedures.
Some recurring themes will be axon growth, axon regeneration, and plasticity.
The course will include speakers from American, British, and Swiss universities.
