Conference
Crossing barriers at the axon initial segment
The Royal Society
About
This meeting examines how the axon initial segment controls neuronal firing and polarized transport. The programme connects axo-axonic synapses and human neuronal physiology with cytoskeletal organization, development, disease and activity-dependent plasticity. Approaches include electrophysiology, proteomics, nanoscale and ultrafast imaging, computational modelling and CRISPR perturbation. Discussions consider how ion channels, molecular scaffolds and synaptic inputs jointly regulate excitability.
