Language is a higher cognitive function that is typically associated with human communication. The underlying neuronal systems have been largely unraveled, using e.g. fMRI. Studies over the past decades have shown that similar systems and functions are also in place for social communication in other species. This school will provide students with the latest insights into the topic, emphasizing similarities across species as well as pointing out which models are most suitable to address specific aspects.

Astrocytes & Microglia, key partners in synaptic transmission
The second edition of the International Bordeaux Neurocampus – Brain Conferences is scheduled from September 30 to October 2, 2015. “GliSyn” for “Astrocytes and microglia, key partners in synaptic transmission”, will focus on the role of two glial cells, astrocytes and microglia, in synaptic transmission.
Although astrocytes and microglia share common features, the astrocyte and microglia fields are growing independently. The goal of this conference is to gather scientists from both fields. To identify synergies, similarities and differences of these two types of glial cells, three sessions will be dedicated to their influence at the synapse during development, in adult physiology and in pathology. GliSyn is organized by the Bordeaux Neurocampus Federation and the LabEx BRAIN. It is an event opened to the worldwide scientific community.
