Advanced Imaging in Neuroscience

Three-week, hands-on, project-based course on microscopy across scales from single molecules to whole brains. Small groups work on neuronal and astrocytic activity, synapse biology, the cytoskeleton and axon development in invertebrate and mammalian systems, from dissociated cultures to in vivo preparations, learning electron, super-resolution and expansion microscopy, live imaging and fluorescence biosensors through experimental design, sample preparation, imaging and analysis, with seminars by instructors and keynote speakers. The fee of €4,500 includes tuition, accommodation and meals; stipends are available.
