(1.5MB)
Welcome on the Frontiers in Neurophotonics 2009 website, an international
summer school on advanced cell live imaging techniques.
Frontiers in Neurophotonics
is an opportunity to meet fellow researchers
and students from around the world, discuss and discover the latest advances in
live cell imaging techniques put in perspective by experimental challenges in
the field of neuroscience.
The school will combine tutorials given by experts
in photonics and neuroscience and hands-on experiments involving advanced
optical approaches to measure, manipulate and follow molecular events in living
neuronal cells.
Topics to be covered include:
-
Tracking cell migration and maturation in live brain slices
-
Video-rate multimodal imaging
in vivo
-
Coherent Anti-stokes Raman Scattering microscopy
-
Imaging protein trafficking in and out of dendritic spines
-
Single membrane receptor tracking
-
Fluorescence lifetime approaches
-
Photobleaching and
Photoactivation techniques
-
Two-photon calcium imaging in axons and dendrites
-
Mapping synaptic connections between neurons
The school is supported with funds
from the Canadian Institute of Health Research (Neurophysics
Training Program Grant), the Canadian Foundation for Innovation
and the Canadian Institute for Photonics Innovation.
We hope to see you in Quebec !
