Mondino” Pavia ABSTRACT Monday September 22, 2014, Room (Aula C), 2°floor at 14:30 "Integrative Analysis of Electrophysiological and Behavioral Data in the After-hour Circadian Mouse Model" Silvia MAGGI, Neuroscience Brain Technology (NBT), Istituto Italiano Tecnologia (IIT), Genoa Short intro to the talk: This study reveals novel roles of clock genes in non-circadian functions and defines the dynamics between circadian clock and sleep in modulating daily behaviors in mice. Keywords: in-vivo experiments, EEG-EMG recordings, sleep, interval timing, decision making, circadian rhythms, clock genes. Wednesday October 1, 2014, Room C (Aula C), 2°floor at 14:30 "Why do cerebellar granule cells have four dendrites?" Eugenio PIASINI, University College London (UCL), London Short intro to the talk: The number of dendrites of the the most numerous neuron in the brain - the granule cell of the cerebellum - is remarkably conserved throughout evolution and across animal species. In this talk, I will illustrate how this anatomical feature is constrained by the function that the cerebellum is required to perform. Keywords: cerebellum, sparse coding, network structure, information theory, computational modelling, granule cell Monday October 20, 2014, Room C (Aula C), 2°floor at 14:30 "Detailed computation model for a cerebellar excitatory interneuron" Sathyaa SUBRAMANIYAM, Department of Brain and Behavioral Science, University of Pavia, Via Forlanini 6, I-27100, Pavia, Italia Monday October 27, 2014, Room C (Aula C), 2°floor at 14:30
Monday November 17, 2014, Room (Aula C), 2°floor at 14:30 "Spike count and spike time coding of flashed images in macaque primary visual cortex" Marcello MULAS, Neuroscientific System Theory, Technische Universität München, Germany LINK Short intro to the talk: How the brain represents stimuli is still a matter of debate. It is unclear how important is the precise time of spikes in order to encode information. This study suggests that taking into account the interaction between neurons might undermine conclusions based on estimates of average information in single neurons. Keywords: V1, neural coding, information time course, synergy, redundancy, information theory Monday November 24, 2014, Room (Aula C), 2°floor at 14:30 "Multispecies models for large neural network description" Anna CATTANI, Center for Neuroscience and Cognitive Systems (CNCS), IIT, Rovereto ABSTRACT Monday December 1, 2014, Room (Aula C), 2°floor at 14:30 "Ionic mechanism underlying cardiac pacemaking: Insights from a mathematical model " Lara CHARAWI, Dipartimento Matematica, Università di PAVIA ABSTRACT Keywords: Cardiac modelling, cardiac pacemaking, sinoatrial node, funny current, autonomic rate modulation.
