Multiple Facets of GABA in Brain Development

GABA signals modulate all the essential steps of brain maturation including proliferation, neuronal phenotype, migration, neuronal growth, synapse formation and early network patterns. Alterations of GABA signals are involved in many brain disorders at both early and late developmental stages. Clearly understanding how GABA signals control brain development will heavily impact developmental neurobiology. The aims of this winter school are to educate and inspire young investigators by presenting all the multiple facets of GABA signals, from cell to network and to malformations. The invited speakers are experts in an extremely wide range of domains and techniques that span from molecular biology, fundamental electrophysiology to imaging brain networks and animal models of malformations. 

 The school is intended for advanced PhD students and post docs in neuroscience who already have a scientific record. A total of 40 students will be accepted.
