IAS Focused Program on Frontiers in Chromatin Biology and Epigenetics (November 24-26, 2025) IAS Focused Program on Frontiers in Chromatin Biology and Epigenetics (November 24-26, 2025)

Overview

Synaptic transmission plays an important role in neuronal communication in the brain and is relevant to most neurological diseases and mental illness. This Symposium will focus on synaptic transmission and the synaptic origins of neurological disease. It will create a dynamic forum to discuss and advance our understanding of synaptic transmission and neurological diseases. In particular, the Symposium will focus the following topics:

(1)   How does synaptic vesicles regulate synaptic transmission in the presynaptic terminal?
(2)   How does synaptic organization relate to synaptic transmission?
(3)   What is the synaptic pathophysiology associated with neurological disease, and how could these pathophysiology of neurological diseases be corrected?

Many international and local speakers will give in-depth presentations about synaptic transmission and neurological diseases. This Symposium will thus advance our understanding about synaptic transmission and neurological diseases.
