SUMMARY:Neurons, synapses and circuits involved in the Processing of inform
 ation from the entorhinal cortex
DESCRIPTION:The discovery of grid cells in the entorhinal cortex and place 
 cells in the hippocampus, for which the Nobel Prize was awarded in 2014, wa
 s a major advance in our understanding of how information from the environm
 ent is conveyed to the hippocampus by characteristic activity patterns. The
 se activity patterns involve distinct neuronal types, neuronal circuits, an
 d synapses, which are undergoing intensive study in the hope of unveiling t
 he specifics of the entorhino-hippocampal network. Despite the pioneering w
 ork of May-Britt and Edvard Moser on the grid cells, and of John O’Keefe on
  the place cells in the hippocampus proper, it still needs to be understood
  how the representation of space and the activity of grid cells in the ento
 rhinal cortex, representing a “map” of the surrounding environment, is tran
 sferred to hippocampal place cells, which fire if the animal is in a specif
 ic position in space. This information transfer is likely to involve distin
 ct neurons and their synaptic connections forming specific circuits, which 
 are as yet poorly understood. The symposium will bring together leading res
 earchers from the field of entorhinal and/or hippocampal neurons and synaps
 es and their functional circuits. The organizers wish to stimulate fruitful
  discussions, aiming at summarizing the most up-to-date knowledge of leadin
 g scientists in the field, and at the same time developing novel concepts a
 nd even plans for future experiments. As indicated by the title of the symp
 osium, the three main sessions will be entitled “Neurons”, “Synapses & Syna
 ptic Mechanisms”, and “Circuits”. Image: Alexandr Mitiuc\n\nFurther Informa
