<div>This EMBO Workshop brings together scientific leaders to
present their research on dendrites, at the molecular, anatomical
and biophysical level. Apart from scientific talks from top
experts in the field, the meeting includes a full day dedicated to
Career Issues in academia. This session features talks from the
current President of FENS as well as young Neuroscientists from
the<a
href="http://www.fens.org/Outreach/FENS-Kavli-Network-of-Excellence/">
FENS-Kavli Network of Excellence</a> that are dealing with such
issues. <br>

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS<br>
<br>
We are soliciting abstracts for oral and poster presentations. We
welcome both experimental and theoretical contributions addressing
novel findings, methods or databases related to dendrites that
fall into one or more of the following domains:<o:p></o:p></font><font

</font>
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color:transparent">morphological and
functional characterizations,</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color:transparent">dendritic
integration and compartmentalization,</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color:transparent">dendritic channel
distribution and their functional implications,</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color:transparent">molecular pathways
and signaling networks,</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color:transparent">RNA trafficking and
local protein synthesis,</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color:transparent">functional or
