Optical Imaging and Electrophysiological Methods in Neuroscience is a 11 day residential course of lectures, demonstrations and practical work in electrophysiology and microscopy applied to neurophysiology. It was initiated by the ENP in 2009.
Lectures and Practicals are held at Université Paris Descartes in the Medical School at 45 Rue des Saints Peres 75006, adjacent to the Neuroscience research labs on the third floor. Instructors and lecturers are mainly from Paris but also from labs outside Paris.
There are 25 lectures. The preliminary lecture and demonstration timetables (based on the 2015 program) are given below. The same topics will be addressed this year.
The practical work comprises 10 days hands-on practical with patch clamp recording, extracellular recording and use of CCD cameras, mainly in brain slice preparations.
Small group demonstrations will be given in microscopy, confocal microscopy, two-photon microscopy, TIRF microscopy, in vivo recording in anaesthetized or freely moving animals, viral transfection methods. 2 half-days will be spent at the Ecole Normale Supérieure Neuroscience labs and Imaging Platform.
Accommodation in a student residence will be available, lunch will be provided. No classes on Sunday 18 June. Non-Parisians should plan to arrive on Sunday June 11th and to depart on Saturday June 24th.
