Synaptic Plasticity
Synaptic plasticity refers to the ability of synapses — the communication junctions between neurons — to strengthen or weaken over time in response to activity. It is the biological foundation of learning, memory, and adaptive behavior throughout life.
The Synaptic Plasticity session explores molecular mechanisms governing long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD). Researchers discuss neurotransmitter signaling, calcium dynamics, and receptor trafficking shaping neural circuit reconfiguration.
At the Synaptic Plasticity Conference, neuroscientists, molecular biologists, and computational researchers present insights into synaptic remodeling in development, aging, and neurodegenerative disease. Topics include plasticity-related genes, synaptic pruning, and plasticity-driven rehabilitation.
This session is suited for scientists investigating cognition, neuropharmacology, and systems neuroscience. Participants will understand how plasticity supports memory encoding, recovery after brain injury, and adaptive learning in neural networks.
Recent discoveries in Molecular Neuroscience reveal how synaptic proteins such as BDNF and CaMKII regulate long-term connectivity, offering new therapeutic targets for cognitive disorders.
