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.

Topics to be covered include:

• Tracking cell migration and maturation in live brain slices. To learn more...
• Video-rate multimodal imaging in vivo. To learn more...
• Coherent Anti-stokes Raman Scattering microscopy. To learn more...
• Imaging protein trafficking in and out of dendritic spines. To learn more...
• Single membrane receptor tracking. To learn more...
• Fluorescence lifetime approaches. To learn more...
• Photobleaching and Photoactivation techniques. To learn more...
• Two-photon calcium imaging in axons and dendrites
• Mapping synaptic connections between neurons
• Super-resolution imaging
• Optical microprobe applications in vivo
