The Jerusalem 15th Advanced School in Life Sciences on the Presynaptic Terminal: Assembly and Function

General Director:
Bert Sakmann (Max Planck Institute, Heidelberg)

Organizer:
Micha Spira (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem)

This school will review the current understanding of the mechanisms underlying neurotransmitter release from the presynaptic terminal and its assembly. A group of leadings scientists, with expertise in cell biology, molecular biology, ultra-structure physics and mathematical modeling, will analyze the field’s history, current approach and future areas of research.
