Synaptic Transmission

Synaptic transmission is the fundamental process by which neurons communicate through electrical or chemical signals. This communication enables every thought, sensation, and movement, forming the basis of all neural function.

The Synaptic Transmission session delves into how neurotransmitters are released, bind to receptors, and propagate signals across synaptic gaps. It explores vesicle dynamics, ion-channel function, and the molecular machinery controlling neuronal communication and plasticity.

At the Synaptic Transmission Conference, neuroscientists, electrophysiologists, and pharmacologists discuss cutting-edge research on neurotransmitter regulation, synaptic vesicle recycling, and synaptic dysfunction in diseases such as epilepsy, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer’s.

This session is ideal for those studying molecular neuroscience, electrophysiology, and neural network modeling. Attendees gain insight into how precise regulation of synaptic activity sustains brain homeostasis and how its disruption contributes to neurological disorders.

Recent advances in Neurophysiology reveal how imaging techniques and optogenetic tools provide real-time visualization of neurotransmission, helping researchers decode the complexity of brain signaling with unprecedented precision.
