US-Japan Brain Research Cooperative Program Workshop
The NeuroPhysiome: Bridging computational neuroscience and systems biology
This workshop will be concerned with the commonalities and multiscale modelling of cellular and molecular processes and neuronal systems physiology and how robust function emerges from complex, plastic processes. The goal of the workshop will be to address the need for better communication and interaction between the system's biology and computational neuroscience communities. It will focus on bridging the divide in cellular modeling that is present in both fields, and look at parallels between neuronal network computation and signaling network computation.
Two focus points will serve to foster discussion:
- Multiscale neural control of cardiorespiratory function: bridging gene networks to neural networks;
- Multiscale modeling and systems biology of synapses and synaptic plasticity.
The aims of the workshop are to begin a process that will develop joint scientific collaborations and improved coordination between Japanese Physiome efforts and U.S. modeling and basic research. A second aim is to develop a draft recommendation for the creation of a new National Center for Systems Biology with a computational neuroscience focus.
Participation in the workshop is free but limited by size of the seminar room. Therefore you need to register in advance and take care of your own travel and accommodation arrangements. Lunch boxes can be ordered. We will confirm your registration as soon as possible.
