CNS 2015 Workshop

Neuronal Oscillations: Computational models and dynamic mechanisms

    Description

    Oscillatory activity at various frequency ranges have been observed in various areas of the brain and are believed to be important for cognitive functions such as learning, memory, navigation and attention. Disruption of rhythmic oscillations has been implicated in diseases of the nervous system including epilepsy and schizophrenia. Neuronal oscillations have been studied at the single cell level, as the result of the interaction of a neuron's intrinsic properties, at the network level, as the result of the interaction between the participating neurons and neuronal populations in a given brain region, and at higher levels of organization involving several of these regions. The advances in this field have benefited from the interaction between experimental and theoretical approaches.

    The purpose of this workshop is to bring together both experimentalists and theorists with the goal of discussing their results and ideas on both the underlying mechanisms that govern the generation of these rhythms at the various levels of organization mentioned above and their functional implications for cognition.
